The area has been inhabited since before the time of Swedish dominion over Finland; the first inhabitation can be traced to at least the 11th century and possibly earlier. Today there are four major communities on the island, Replot kyrkoby, Norra Vallgrund, Södra Vallgrund and Söderudden, which are all served by their own elementary schools. The island is since 1997 connected to the mainland via the Replot Bridge, replacing the earlier ferry connection which had been in place since the 1960's. The bridge is as of 2007 the longest bridge ever built in Finland, with a length of 1045 meters.

Replot is part of a larger archipelago and most of the smaller islands around Replot have traditionally been used as fishing camps. Today the buildings are generally used as summer cottages since maritime activities play a large part in the culture of the region. Fishing is nowadays mostly a recreational activity, but there are still a number of professional fishermen active in Replot.

The Replot Bridge (Replotbron in Swedish, Raippaluodon silta in Finnish) connects the island of Replot (Raippaluoto in Finnish) with the mainland of Finland in the Swedish-speaking Korsholm municipality (Mustasaari in Finnish), near the city Vaasa (Vasa in Swedish). It is 1045 metres long and the longest bridge of Finland. Two supporting pylons are both 82,5 meters high.
