Finland Sub-regions

Sub-regions of Finland

I've removed Åland from these tables, since it is now considered a separate country.

I have chosen to regard the sub-regions as the second-order administrative divisions of Finland. There are currently 86 sub-regions, as follows:

HASC: Hierarchical administrative subdivision codes. The middle two letters identify the province. For key, see the Provinces of Finland page. src: Sub-region code (source unknown). To find which regional council a sub-region is in, use the first two digits of its sub-region code. Drop the leading zeros. The result is usually the regional council code. Exception: the sub-region of Loviisa, and parts of Orimattila and Porvoo, are in regional council 3 (Itä-Uusimaa), and another part of Orimattila is in regional council 7 (Päijät-Häme). There is a table of regional councils below.

At the end of 2003, Finland was divided into 430 kunnat (municipalities), which are the basic units of local government. (This figure doesn't include the 16 municipalities in Åland.) In some cases the municipalities are still further subdivided. The sub-regions, regional councils, regions, and provinces are all built up out of municipalities. The table below shows the 430 municipalities.

Change history:

Anu Kivisaari sent me a good deal of information about recent changes.

Between 1982 and 1996, the following rural municipalities disappeared: Kalanti, in Turku ja Pori province; Konginkangas, in Keski-Suomi; Nuijamaa, in Kymi; Rauman mlk, in Turku ja Pori; Säynätsalo, in Keski-Suomi; and Tenhola, in Uusimaa. They probably had merged with neighboring municipalities.
In 1982, there were two municipalities named Koski, in the provinces of Häme and Turku ja Pori. By 1996, the name of the former had changed to Hämeenkoski.
~1996: Heinola (mun code 088) and Heinolan mlk (089) merged to form Heinola (111); Lohja (427) and Lohja kunta (428) merged to form Lohja (444); Porvoo (612) and Porvoon mlk (613) merged to form Porvoo (638).
Between ~1999 and 2005 the status of these entities changed from rural municipalities to cities: Haapavesi, Joutseno, Juankoski, Kaarina, Kalajoki, Kauhajoki, Kitee, Kiuruvesi, Kuusamo, Närpiö, Nilsiä, Nivala, Orimattila, Paimio, Pudasjärvi, Pyhäsalmi (Pyhäjärvi), Somero, Ulvila, Viitasaari, Ylöjärvi
2001: Kuorevesi rural municipality merged with Jämsä municipality. Anttola and Mikkelin mlk rural municipalities merged with Mikkeli municipality. Temmes rural municipality split up. The largest part merged with Tyrnävä. Smaller parts merged with Liminka, Lumijoki, and Rantsila.
2003: Vehkalahti rural municipality merged with Hamina municipality. Pattijoki rural municipality merged with Raahe municipality.
2004: Jäppilä, Pieksämäen mlk, and Virtasalmi rural municipalities merged to form Pieksänmaa.
2005: Kiihtelysvaara and Tuupovaara rural municipalities merged with Joensuu municipality. Sahalahti rural municipality merged with Kangasala. Vehmersalmi rural municipality merged with Kuopio municipality. Loimaan kunta rural municipality merged with Loimaa municipality. Saari and Uukuniemi rural municipalities merged with Parikkala. Karinainen rural municipality merged with Pöytyä. Peräseinäjoki rural municipality merged with Seinäjoki municipality. Värtsilä rural municipality merged with Tohmajärvi. Kullaa rural municipality merged with Ulvila. Kangaslampi rural municipality merged with Varkaus municipality.
2006: Rovaniemen mlk rural municipality plans to merge with Rovaniemi municipality.

These are the nineteen regional councils of Finland.
