History
The name of Anttola is derived from the Savonian surname Anttonen, first attested in the area in 1541. It was a part of the Pitkälahti fourth of the Pellosniemi parish after the original Savilahti (later Mikkeli) parish was divided in the early 16th century. In 1608, Anttola was given to the Russian boyar Menshik Baranoff, who established a seat farm () in the area. Menshik died in 1625, after which his property was inherited by his son Klaus Johan Baranoff, who later fought in the Battle of Lund in 1676. The Anttola manor was first mentioned in 1639. Since the 17th century, there had been multiple propositions to build a chapel or a church in Anttola caused by Anttola's distance from the parish's center. Anttola eventually became a chapel community in 1867, also acquiring territories from Juva, Ristiina and Puumala. The old wooden church of Juva was relocated to Anttola in 1870. Anttola became a separate parish in 1872 and a municipality in 1875. At the time, it had a population of 2,112. At its peak, Anttola had over 3,000 inhabitants. By the late 20th century, it had decreased to under 2,000. In order to avoid financial difficulties, Anttola joined the town of Mikkeli in 2001 together with Mikkelin maalaiskunta.
