History
Muuruvesi has existed at least since the 1620s. At the time, it was a part of the Kuopio Parish. As Nilsiä became a chapel community under Kuopio in 1769, Muuruvesi became a part of it. Nilsiä became a separate parish in 1816. A division of the Nilsiä Parish was ordered in 1899, splitting Muuruvesi and Varpaisjärvi from it, however Muuruvesi only became a functional parish in 1900 and started producing its own church registers in 1908. Juankoski was transferred from Nilsiä to Muuruvesi in 1907, remaining a part of it until Juankoski became a separate parish in 1923. Together with Säyneinen, Muuruvesi was consolidated with the town of Juankoski in 1971. Juankoski was later consolidated with Kuopio in 2017.
