Jääski was first mentioned in 1323 in the Treaty of Nöteborg. Until 1710 it belonged to Sweden, and during the Great Northern War it was taken over by Russia. Until 1918 it was a part of Vyborg Governorate, which after 1812 belonged to the Grand Duchy of Finland and was known as the Viipuri Province. In 1918, Finland became independent, and the town became the administrative center of the Jääski municipality of the Viipuri Province.
