Verevi is bordered to the west by Lake Võrtsjärv, to the north by Emajõgi River, to the east by Sangla bog and to the south by Suure-Rakke village. The Tartu–Viljandi road (nr. 92) passes Verevi on its western side, just before Võrtsjärv

Verevi was first mentioned in 1582 as Werva Wielka. But the place itself was inhabited a long time before, as proven by ancient gravesites.[2]
