Siikajoki

Among the municipalities of Mainland Finland, Siikajoki stands out for the Siikajoki River’s course from inland plains to the Gulf of Bothnia. The municipality combines low-lying coastal countryside with river settlements and a long stretch of Finland’s western coast. Its name is tied to the river, while the area also holds a place in the Finnish War: the Battle of Siikajoki was fought here in 1808 between Swedish and Russian forces. Siikajoki now includes communities such as Ruukki, Paavola and Revonlahti, giving it a dispersed character rather than one dense urban centre.
