History
Jalasjärvi is a former municipality of Finland that was merged with Kurikka on 1 January 2016. The municipality was unilingually Finnish. Jalasjärvi originally belonged to Ilmajoki parish.

The Jalasjärvi chapel church was completed in 1725 and a new church was built in 1799–1800. Jalasjärvi parish became independent in 1858.
