Rauman maalaiskunta

|
Rauman maalaiskunta (the rural municipality of Rauma) in Finland, often abbreviated Rauman MLK, was annexed to Rauma on January 1st, 1993. The population of the municipality at the time of annexation was about 9000. The municipality was originally formed in 1476 when a border was drawn between the town of Rauma and the surrounding countryside. The townspeople had seafaring rights, which the country dwellers lacked. Between 1600s and early 1800s customs fees were levied on goods passing either to or from the town, and even a border wall existed. A place in Rauma is still called "Porintulli" (Customs of Pori) - a place for the customs on the road to Pori.
