Uusimaa (or Uudenmaan maakunta) is a region in southern Finland. It is located next to Gulf of Finland. Neighbouring regions are Southwest Finland, Kanta-Häme, Päijänne Tavastia and Kymenlaakso. The historical province of Uusimaa covered a larger area than modern Uusimaa. A very large number of people in Finland live in Uusimaa.
The Province of Uusimaa (Finnish: Uudenmaan lääni, Swedish: Nylands län, Russian: Губерния У́усимаа) was a province of Finland from 1831 to 1997. [1] It was established in 1831, when the County of Nyland and Tavastehus was divided into the Häme Province and Uusimaa Province.
Uusimaa (Swedish: Nyland) is a region along the coast in Southern Finland, with hundreds of islands, some big lakes and inland countryside. The Finnish capital Helsinki is in central Uusimaa. A quite flat region with farmland and two notable cities, Porvoo and Loviisa.
Uusimaa (Swedish: Nyland) is a historical province in the south of Finland. It borders Finland Proper, Tavastia, Savonia, and Karelia. The English translation would be "new land". From the Middle Ages to 1809, most of the present-day Finland was a part of Sweden. Uusimaa (Nyland) was thus also included among the historical Swedish provinces.
