Finnish paper industry got started as early as in the 17th century. Modern paper industry took over Finland in the 19th century, and since the beginning of our independence, wood and paper have played an important role in employment and exports. Whole villages and towns have developed around the paper industry. An old school board shows what cellulose and paper factories encompassed in Kuusankoski and Kymi.
