Kymenlaakso, Administrative region in Southern Finland.
The Kymi Valley encompasses seven municipalities, including three cities: Hamina, Kotka, and Kouvola, spanning across southeastern Finland.
The region emerged from the remnants of Viipuri Province after territories were transferred to Russia following the Moscow Armistice in 1944.
The municipality of Pyhtää maintains a bilingual status with Finnish and Swedish languages, while six other municipalities use Finnish exclusively.
Kouvola serves as the regional capital, containing 88,396 residents across 2,885 square kilometers of diverse terrain and urban areas.
