This is a list of towns in
Finland. In the year
1977 the juridical difference between cities, towns and
municipalities were removed. Today only municipalities are recognized, some of which are commonly referred to as
towns (kaupunki in
Finnish, stad in
Swedish). A simple, independent decision in the municipal council is required to change the name of a rural "municipality" (kunta) into a "city" (kaupunki). For towns founded before the
1960s the list includes the year the town was
chartered. The town names used in the English Wikipedia are usually the Finnish forms, except where noted.
