About Rovaniemi

Rovaniemi is a town and municipality of Finland. It is the executive capital and commercial centre of Finland's northernmost province, Lapland. It is located approximately 6 kilometres south of the Arctic Circle and is among the hills of Ounasvaara and Korkalovaara, at the confluence of the river Kemijoki and its tributary, the Ounasjoki. The metropolis and the surrounding Rovaniemen maalaiskunta were consolidated right into a single entity on 1 January 2006.

The new municipality has a place of 8,016.75 square kilometres, as a result making it the biggest metropolis inside the European Union with the aid of land. Rovaniemi has an approximate population of 63,000. Rovaniemi is a unilingual Finnish-speakme municipality and uncommonly for large Finnish towns, it is also regarded by way of its Finnish name and spelling in the Swedish language.

Periodic clearance of new land for agriculture and the preparation of lower-and-burn cultivation commenced around 750–530 BC. Artifacts located in the place propose that increasingly more guests from Karelia within the east, Häme within the south and the Arctic Ocean coast within the north ought to have come there from 500 AD onwards. The Sami are considered to be Lapland's most indigenous present population. It is first noted via name in respectable documents in 1453, present successfully as a set of small villages whose inhabitants earned their dwelling mainly in agriculture and animal husbandry with fishing and hunting the most important offshoots.
