Kauhajoki

Kauhajoki extends along the Kauhajoki River in western Finland, and its low river corridor has shaped settlement amid the open fields and forests of the Suupohja area. The town lies in South Ostrobothnia, where broad, level terrain differs markedly from Finland’s lake-dotted interior. Kauhajoki holds a place in national memory: during the Winter War, the Finnish Parliament convened here after leaving Helsinki, meeting in the town from December 1939 to February 1940. Riverbanks, farmland and a compact centre give Kauhajoki a distinctly rural western-Finnish character.
