Biography
View old mayors

The former parish of Suur-Pirkkala (Great Pirkkala) is mentioned in historical documents from the 14th century. It was located over half of Pirkanmaa, a region nowadays populated by about 360,000 inhabitants. Suur-Pirkkala began to split when new parishes and municipalities were established.

Pirkkala has a long and illustrious history but the current size was determined in 1922, when the remains of Suur-Pirkkala were split into Pohjois (Northern Pirkkala) and Etelä-Pirkkala (Southern Pirkkala). The name of Northern Pirkkala was changed to Nokia in 1938 and Southern Pirkkala reverted to its original name.
