History

The history of Tottijärvi dates back to the early 14th century. According to a legend, it was named after the dog of the chieftain Matti Kurki. Kurki drowned his dog Totti into a lake, as it was making noise during an ambush and later the dog began to haunt him.^[2] The Tottijärvi Manor was established in 1416. It was owned by the Kurki of Laukko family. The manor was destroyed in the 1918 Finnish Civil War.^[3]

Tottijärvi was originally a part of the Greater Pirkkala, which was one of the 10 original sockens of the historical province of Satakunta, and later a part of the Vesilahti municipality. The Tottijärvi parish was established in 1685 and the municipality of Tottijärvi in 1906. It was annexed with the town of Nokia in 1976.^[2]
