 Talk:Helsinki - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Around year 1900, the town Helsingfors, that had been the Grand Duchy's capital for some 80 years by then, due to urbanization became the predominantly Finnish-speaking town Helsinki.
The area, sparsely populated after earlier viking raids, was settled by people from the Swedish province of Helsingia (in Swedish Hälsingland, or especially earlier also Helsingland, which meant something like "holy land") in the 12th century, after Finland was concured by Sweden.
Later, when the City of Helsinki grew quickly after the war in 1940's-1960's, large parts of the Parish of Helsinki were annexed to it.
