Hello! Today we walk in Vantaa (Helsinki) Kivistö District. Kivistö is a district and major region of the municipality of Vantaa, Finland, located within the northwestern part of the city. The earliest evidence of settlement in the area dates back to the early 16th century. The original inhabitants of the area are believed to have spoken Finnish, which was unique for the time. The name "Kivistö" was coined by them, and it is thought to be in reference to the inarable exposed granite bedrock common to the area. The existing farmland in Kivistö has been in use since the 17th century, during which time the Linna Manor was constructed there.
The first of the contemporary housing in the area was built in the early 1950s. The land was primarily sold by the construction firm Omakiinteistö Oy, and settlers were unaware of a nearby radio station, which handled the Finnish government's international shortwave radio communications. Due to radio-frequency interference, the construction of electrical infrastructure in the area was banned, and the district spent its first years without electricity. After three years of complaints and protests, the ban was lifted, and Kivistö was permitted electrical power. Protests included the construction of a roadside sign leading into the district that read: "Öljylamppukylä-jo 3 vuotta n. 200 taloa ilman sähköä" or "Oil Lamp Town-already 3 years of about 200 houses without electricity".
