South Ostrobothnia, Administrative region in Western Finland.
South Ostrobothnia encompasses 18 municipalities across four sub-regions, featuring agricultural landscapes, lakes, and forests covering 14,000 square kilometers.
The region formed through administrative changes in 1775 when Ostrobothnia County divided, leading to distinct cultural and economic development patterns.
Traditional folk music, knife-making crafts, and agricultural festivals shape the regional identity, with Seinäjoki hosting numerous annual celebrations.
The regional capital Seinäjoki connects to major Finnish cities through rail networks and highways, offering essential services to 200,000 residents.
Lake Lappajärvi, formed by a meteorite impact 73 million years ago, stands as the largest crater lake in Finland.
