Island inhabitants date back to the 13th century. During most of its history the island was inhabited by Estonian Swedes ("rannarootslased" in Estonian, or "coastal Swedes" in English), whose population reached 3,000 before World War II. During the war, nearly all of Vormsi's population, including Hullo's; were evacuated to Sweden.
Two churches are located on the island: a protestant church and an orthodox church.
