Tuusula, Municipality in Uusimaa, Finland

Located 30 kilometers north of Helsinki, Tuusula extends across 225 square kilometers of land, including lakes and forests in the southern Finnish interior.

The area transformed from a parish into a municipality in 1653, marking the beginning of its development as an independent administrative region in southern Finland.

Lake Tuusula has drawn numerous Finnish artists throughout history, with their former residences now operating as museums showcasing the regional artistic heritage.

The municipality maintains 18 primary schools, four secondary schools, and three high schools, serving the educational needs of its 42,000 residents.

The Kellokoski ironworks, established in 1795, initiated industrial development in the region and remained operational until the 1980s, shaping the local economy.
