The village of Topeno is first mentioned in documents in 1470.<ref name="hamewiki">[https://ift.tt/3sID8qo Topenon kylä - Häme Wiki] (in Finnish)</ref> The oldest known houses in Topeno are Hurri, Tirra, Hemmo, Suutari, Sorri, Hokraa and Peura.

The village was divided during the [[Great Partition (Sweden)|Great Partition]] into a large village formed by the old village center and a small village formed by Vähä-Peura, Iso-Peura and Hokkala, which has been inhabited since the 17th century.<ref name="hamewiki"/> Today, the main houses of the large village of Topeno, Hemmo, Sorri, Hurri and Suutari, are located in a row north of the Topeno River along the Topenontie.
