töyssyn

Töyssyn is a locality in the municipality of Kurikka, Finland, located in the South Ostrobothnia region. It was formerly an independent municipality. The area is situated near the Lapuanjoki river.

The history of Töyssyn dates back to the 18th century when it was part of the larger Ilmajoki parish. It gained its own chapel in 1836 and became a separate municipality in 1867. The municipality's economy was historically based on agriculture and small industries.

Töyssyn merged with the town of Kurikka in 2013, forming the new municipality of Kurikka. The former Töyssyn municipal area is now one of the administrative divisions within the larger Kurikka. The population of the Töyssyn locality has seen a gradual decline in recent decades, a trend common in many rural Finnish areas.

Local services and infrastructure are now managed by the municipality of Kurikka. The cultural heritage of Töyssyn is preserved through local associations and historical sites within the broader Kurikka region. The name "Töyssyn" itself is of Finnish origin, though its exact etymology is not widely documented.
