History
Vantaa, until 1972 known as Helsinki rural municipality (Helsingin maalaiskunta), is a municipality in Finland. Rural municipalities were established in 1865 by the Municipal Ordinance of 1865 (Vuoden 1865 kunnallisasetus, or Keisarillisen Majesteetin Armollinen Asetus kunnallishallituksesta maalla) which separated churches from the local government administration and the basic regional administrative unit of the countryside became a rural municipality (maalaiskunta) instead of a parish (pitäjä), which is sometimes translated as "keeper". The Swedish name is Vanda.
