Historical provinces of Finland
The historical provinces (Finnish: maakunnat or provinssit – singular maakunta or provinssi), Swedish: landskap) of Finland is a legacy of the country's joint history with Sweden. The provinces ceased to be an administrative entity already in 1634 when they were superseded by the Counties, a reform which remained in force in Finland until 1997. The provinces remain as a tradition but have no administrative function today.
