Records of the village of Kouvola on the banks of the Kymi River date back to the mid-1400s. Early in the Middle Ages, cutting through the heart of the village of Kouvola, the Great Vyborg Road wound through the forests, linking the castles of Häme and Vyborg.
Travelling along the road you might meet messengers from the castle lords, clerics, troops marching at the behest of the Crown, and of course, traders. Kouvola also became an important crossroads in the 17th century, when the road to Hamina was built. Following the Russo-Swedish war, the Peace of Turku was concluded in 1743 and the border between Sweden and Russia became the Kymi River.
The Finnish Defence Forces operating on Kouvola’s garrison hill today are the 1st Logistics Regiment and the South-East Finland Regional Office. The army is still important for Kouvola. The Karelia Brigade and the Utti Jaeger Regiment are based at Vekaranjärvi.
Kouvola is still known as one of Finland’s largest railway junctions.
