Kauksi was first named in 1543 in an old historical document. In 1732 the town belonged to the goods company Maidla. In the 18th century a separate goods company was established between ved Peipus and Kauksi. It was owned by the Russian nobleman Michailo Rudneff. The estate had its own port with a ferry connection to Tartu.^{[citation needed]}

Kauksi is a favourite tourist destination in the summer. It is located one km from the road between Tartu and Jõhvi. From here, a sandy beach runs almost unbroken along the Peipus' shores until Vasknarva. Air and water temperatures are on average higher than at any other Estonian resort. In 1961 a tourist centre opened in Kauksi.[2]
