Stone Age settlements have been found in the Ähtäri area in Lopet and Akkosaari. Prior to 2016, the National Board of Antiquities' registers contained a total of 95 sites from Ähtäri, and a preliminary study in 2016 found more. The name Ähtäri probably starts from between the Stone Age and the settlement-era settlement. At that time, a small Sámi population roamed the area, which has a clear impact on the Ähtär nomenclature. However, the name of the Great Lake and later the entire municipality may not be of Sámi origin, although there is a suitable counterpart in Sodankylä, Ätsärijoki. Consensus on the origin of the name has not been reached. The intersections have been seen with the Estonian word ace ‘flower, inflorescence’ (which the annotation also reminds in the coat of arms of the keeper) and the Swedish word ed ‘taival’ (of which edsjö → Etseri). The sound connection has also been noticed in the quality words grumpy and drunk, which connection is also known from Äetsä. As for Ätsäjärvi, Ätsäri has meant, Ähtäri is originally the name of the water body in any case.

The first mention of settlement in Ähtäri is in the 1589 land inspection book. Alastaipale was village-like, and there were also settlements in Peränte, Ouluvesi, Hankavesi and Vehu.

Instability was also caused by constant warfare. The great power Sweden invaded Germany once, the Baltic. The Thirty Years' War was fought from 1618 to 1648. In the Great Northern War, Sweden's superpower status collapsed. After Charles XII was defeated in the Battle of Poltava in 1709. Russia's military operations were directed at Finland, and Russian danger reached Ostrobothnia. The occupation period began, great anger. Ähtäri was a remote place out of reach of significant road connections. After the Battle of Pälkäne in 1713, when the escape of Swedish troops began, Ähtäri also showed fleeing soldiers.
