Look at Karkkila - History - Karkkila was founded in 1932, when the center of the municipality of Pyhäjärvi was separated into the township of Karkkila. It got its city rights in 1977. The completion of the blast furnace in 1823 was the turning point in Karkkila's history. The Högfors Foundry was established in 1822, and the blast furnace was built by the Karkki rapids in the Karjaa river. The iron ore was brought from the nearby Rautamäki mine.
