The Tallinn–Rapla (Tallinn–Viljandi) road (nr. 15) passes through Lokuti. The Vääna River flows through the village on its northern side.

In 1499 a Lokuta farmstead (Locketal) was mentioned on the site for the first time. Later a support manor of Saku Manor was located here (Paulshof).{{cite web|title=Lokuti küla|url=http://www.eestigiid.ee/?CatID=273&ItemID=226|publisher=eestigiid.ee|accessdate=5 June 2012|language=Estonian}} The nowadays settlement developed in the 1950s.
