Tulossivujen

Tulossivujen is a former municipality located in Finland, in the province of Southern Finland and the region of Uusimaa. The municipality was inhabited by approximately 8,400 people, representing a relatively small population density.

Tulossivujen was established in 1917, following the separation from the Kiili municipality. The name of the municipality translates to "Steam Road" or "Steam Line" in English, likely referring to the historical steam locomotive traffic carried out in the region.

The municipality covered approximately 229 square kilometers of land, featuring a mix of agricultural land, forests, and wetlands. Locals were predominantly employed in various industries, including but not limited to, agriculture, forestry, healthcare, and education.

At the administrative reform in 2009, Tulossivujen merged with other surrounding municipalities, specifically with Hyvinkää and Vihti municipalities. As a result, it ceased to exist and was incorporated into the newly formed Kiinala district, which falls under the Hyvinkää jurisdiction.

The decision to dissolve Tulossivujen was largely based on the aim of creating more efficient and cohesive regional administrations within southern Finland. It followed a broader trend towards downsizing and reorganization in the region, focusing on regional coordination rather than maintaining distinct local municipalities.

Currently, the former area of Tulossivujen operates under the governance of Hyvinkää municipality, providing local services and following regional objectives as part of the broader Uusimaa public sector. While administratively dissolved, the territory maintains an occupational and cultural identity distinct from surrounding areas.
