village, region
Helsinge, or Helsinki Parish, is known to have been populated by Swedish-speaking people by the 14th century.
The parish village with its church was favourably located on the coastal road between Turku and Viipuri. A traveller approaching the village could see the Church of St. Lawrence from afar, since the village was surrounded by fields, and there were no other big buildings to block the view. Helsinge was an established centre of population by the time Helsinki was founded in parish territory in 1550.
