Nokia is a small town of 26,000 inhabitants that lies about 15km west of the Tampere city centre. For centuries Nokia belonged to the old Greater Pirkkala, but seceded in 1922, when the area was still called Northern Pirkkala. The place was named Nokia in 1938. Most often associated with telecommunications, Nokia's true history begins here. When in town, it's worth visiting the old redbrick factory buildings in which the success and global growth of Nokia Corp began over a hundred years ago.
