History
Saloinen was known as Salo Ol (Salo Oulu län) so as not to be confused with Salo in Turku-Pori county. The municipality of Saloinen was merged into Raahe in 1973. The Swedish name is Salois.

The vicarage burned down in 1663 and the oldest part of the archive must have been destroyed then. During the great hatred, the church suffered great damage. The old church, shared with Raahe, burned down with its chattels on 23/7 1908. The church's property was probably destroyed in the war of 1808. The church burned down to its foundations on 6/1 1930.
