Inkeroinen

Inkeroinen is a former municipality of Finland. It was located in the Kymi Province, which is now part of the Southern Finland region. The municipality was founded in 1919 and merged with the neighboring town of Kouvola in 2009. Before the merger, Inkeroinen had an area of approximately 120 square kilometers and a population of around 5,000 people.

The area's economy was historically based on industry, particularly paper manufacturing. The Kymijoen River, a significant waterway in Finland, flows through Inkeroinen and provided power for its industrial development. The river also played a role in the region's transportation and recreational activities.

Geographically, Inkeroinen was situated in a landscape characterized by forests and lakes, typical of southeastern Finland. The natural environment offered opportunities for outdoor pursuits such as fishing, hiking, and boating.

After the merger with Kouvola, Inkeroinen became a district within the larger city. The administrative changes aimed to streamline services and create a more cohesive urban and rural area. The industrial heritage of Inkeroinen continues to shape its identity, while efforts have been made to diversify its economic base and promote its natural attractions. The legacy of Inkeroinen as an independent municipality is now part of the broader history of Kouvola.
