Overview

Juva is a municipality of Finland. It is located in the South Savo region some 270 kilometres (170 mi) North-East of Helsinki. It was founded on 19 January 1442, and is the oldest parish/municipality in Finland whose exact date of birth is known. At the time, it was only the second parish in Eastern Finland, and later, several other parishes were separated from it, such as Sääminki, Kuopio, Iisalmi, Pieksämäki, Joroinen, Leppävirta, Siilinjärvi, Lapinlahti and Maaninka. Secular municipal administration was established in 1868.
