Kaskinen, Coastal municipality in Ostrobothnia, Finland
Kaskinen stands as an island town in the Gulf of Bothnia, connected to mainland Finland by a bridge built in the nineteenth century.
King Gustav III of Sweden established Kaskinen in 1785, laying out a grid pattern of straight streets intended to accommodate future population growth.
The municipality maintains both Finnish and Swedish as official languages, with Finnish speakers representing 58.8 percent and Swedish speakers 27.5 percent of the population.
The town operates a commercial port facility that handles cargo shipments, making it a significant maritime transportation hub on Finland's western coast.
Local residents prepare Gubbe ronka, a traditional dish combining mashed potatoes with salted Baltic herring and melted butter.
