Kouvola
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kouvola is a town in southeastern Finland. It is located 134 km northeast of the capital, Helsinki.
Kouvola's central location within Finland's borders and as a border post between the European Union and Russian Federation makes it a town full of hustle and bustle. The town originally grew up around the junction of the north-south and east-west rail tracks. It was also a major road transport junction. Kouvola still treasures and benefits from its logistically good location.
As of 2009, the six municipalities - Kouvola, Kuusankoski, Elimäki, Anjalankoski, Valkeala and Jaala - will be merged, accounting for the new municipality of Kouvola with a population of over 80 000, being the 10th largest city in Finland.
