The village is entirely located on the Rebala Heritage Reserve.

Kallavere was first mentioned in the Danish Census Book in 1241. But it's also possible that Kallavere was already mentioned in 1154 by al-Idrisi as Qlwry.

In the 1950s a new housing estate was built on the former lands of Kallavere village on the western part which administratively went under the rule of the town Maardu but also bears the name of Kallavere.

On 19 April 2010 part of the northern part of the village was detached to establish a new official village Saviranna.[2]
