History
Vampula is a former municipality of Finland and it was consolidated with Huittinen on 1 January 2009. It is located in the province of Western Finland and is part of the Satakunta region. The municipality was unilingually Finnish. In the year 1635 there were 45 farms in the municipality and in the year 1860 there we 72 farms.

It is said to have been Säkylä's chapel since the time the first church was built (around 1590), later joined as Huittinen's chapel. Säkylä is mentioned as the parent parish in 1392 and Huittinen in 1414, so Vampula may have belonged to Huittinen as early as the end of the 16th century. Separated into its own parent church in 1891.
