History
Enonkoski is a municipality of Finland. Prior to 1882 it was part of Kerimäki and Heinävesi parishes. The first church was built in Enonkoski in 1859 and the Enonkoski factory congregation (tehdasseurakunta) was formed at the same time. The parish of Enonkoski was separated from Kerimäki parish by a Senate decision in 1894, but in practice the separation did not take place until 1909. Villages from the parishes of Heinävesi, Kerimäki, Rantasalmi and Sääminki were merged with Enonkoski at that time. The church and parsonage burned on 24 July 1884. There was a fire in the parsonage on 18 March 1937, which did not cause any major damage.
