Emmaste got its village status in 1977. Before it was an Emmaste settlement (Estonian: asundus), which was formed in the 1920s on the basis of Emmaste Manor (German: Emmast). The eastern part of the village was known as Nõmme. In the 1920s and 1930s, the Nõmme was a standalone village. In 1977, the nearby village Viiterna was merged with Emmaste village.[2]
