History & geography

History

The village of Kyrö was established in the 1750s by the Finnish settler Henrik (Heikki) Mikonpoika Kyrö, who came from the Torne Valley. Before settling in Inari, he spent some time in Enontekiö and Kittilä. Ivalo was officially a separate village since the mid-19th century, but the name only gained wide usage in the early 20th century. Some people in Inari also knew it as Iivalo. Ivalo started growing after a road leading to Petsamo was built. Kyrö had been fully merged into Ivalo by 1940. Ivalo was severely damaged during the Lapland War (1944–1945) by the retreating German troops led by Generaloberst Lothar Rendulic. The village was subsequently extensively rebuilt.
