Founded in 1895 around the Valga–Rūjiena–Pärnu narrow-gauge railway and major railway maintenance workshops, Mõisaküla grew rapidly into an industrial railway settlement. At its peak, the town housed over 3,000 residents, train depots, and heavy workshops.

After the closure of the railway network in the late 20th century, Mõisaküla transformed into a peaceful town with roughly 750 inhabitants. The former track beds have since been revitalized into non-motorized recreational trails (Green Railways / Rohelised Rööpad), attracting hikers, cyclists, and railway history enthusiasts.
