Nykarleby (Finland Swedish: [nyˈkɑːrleˌbyː] ; Finnish : Uusikaarlepyy , Finnish: [ˈuːsiˌkɑːrleˌpyː] ) is a town in Finland , located on the west coast of the country. Kronoby is situated in Ostrobothnia , along the Gulf of Bothnia . The population of Nykarleby is approximately 8,000, while the sub-region has a population of approximately 50,000. It is the 127th most populous municipality in Finland.
Nykarleby is a bilingual municipality with Finnish and Swedish as its official languages. The population consists of 7% Finnish speakers, 84% Swedish speakers, and 10% speakers of other languages.
The largest employers in the town are Prevex (member of KWH Group ), a packaging and piping products manufacturer, Westwood, which manufactures wooden staircases, and in the village of Jeppo , KWH Mirka, a coated abrasives manufacturer.[6] A Swedish-speaking art school (Svenska Konstskolan ) is located in Nykarleby town.
History [ edit ]
The town is located at the mouth of the Lapua River [fi ; sv ] . The name of the place was Lapuan Joensuu or 'mouth of Lapua river'. The municipality was founded in 1607 by merging parts of Pedersöre and Vörå into a new parish. In 1620, the small village of Lepua was chartered as a city, with the Swedish name Nykarleby , which means 'New Karleby'; the Finnish name is a Finnicized version of the same. The town was chartered in the same year as the nearby city of Kokkola , or in Swedish, Gamlakarleby (later, Karleby ).
The battles of Nykarleby and Jutas were fought there between Swedish and Russian troops during the Finnish War in 1808.
Zacharias Topelius , an important author in Finland, was born in Nykarleby.
In 1995, the small, idyllic town was ranked as "the happiest city in Finland" in a controversial article in Helsingin Sanomat , the leading newspaper of Finland.[7] Nykarleby has the highest concentration of Ukrainian speakers in Finland.[citation needed ]
