Ylöjärvi, Municipality in Pirkanmaa, Finland.

Located west of Tampere, Ylöjärvi covers 1,324 square kilometers of territory, including 208 square kilometers of water bodies and lakes across the region.

Initially founded as a chapel parish in 1779, Ylöjärvi separated from Pirkkala and established its independent municipality status in 1869, later becoming a town in 2004.

The Finnish Museum of Refrigeration stands in Ylöjärvi, preserving industrial artifacts and documenting the evolution of cooling technology through different periods.

The municipality provides extensive building permit services and environmental notification systems for construction, land use, and temporary activities affecting the local area.

Tree Mountain, an environmental art installation created in 1996, remains under legal protection for 400 years, representing a long-term commitment to environmental art.
