Notes:
Uskela is a former Finnish municipality and old parish in Southwest Finland, possibly founded as early as the 13th century. The municipality of Uskela was founded in 1868 and merged with Salo in 1967.
Before Uskela, the neighboring municipalities were the city of Salo and Angelniemi, Halikko, Kuusjoki, Muurla, Perniö and Pertteli.
History
Grandmaster
Perhaps Uskela, founded by about 1230 and first mentioned in documents in 1329, is thought to have been the oldest parish in the Halikonlahti area. According to some estimates, the later parishioners of Halikko, Perniö and Marttila may still have belonged to its territory in the middle of the 13th century and the beginning of the 14th century. Without these, the Uskela area at its largest until the end of the 15th century covered the current municipalities of Muurla, Perttel, Kuusjoki and Kiikala, as well as the area corresponding to the current southern part of the city of Somero.
Chapels
The chapels of Salo and Perttel were founded for the parish priest of Uskela in the Middle Ages, perhaps in the 1440s. Of these, the former also included the later Muurla area and the latter also the later Kuusjoki and Kiikala. Perttelin chapel have time to time for about half a century, they also require an eight Uskela northern village, which in 1492 was transferred to a church Uskela Somero Ward. ,
When Kiikala was formed as an independent parish in 1639, the borders of the Uskela parish were formed, which remained until the 19th century.
What was exceptional about the relationship between the Uskela parish and the chapels was that the Uskela parish itself, on the banks of the Uskelanjoki river, along the roads leading from Salo to Perttel, was always wooden, while handsome stone churches were built in Salo and Perttel in the 16th century. The area of Uskela's parish itself, ie the area of the parish as well as the chapels, was also quite small.
New mother church
After the formation of the Salo and Perttel chapel congregations, Muurla, under the Salo chapel, was formed into its own preachery in 1742. In the 18th and 19th centuries, there were also some reciprocal regional changes around Teijo Ruukki, which eventually became part of Perniö.
A major change in the division of the parish in the area took place when the mother church of Uskela Isokylä was damaged in a landslide and demolished in the late 1820s. As a result, the old parish of Uskela was merged with the chapel parish of Salo, which thus became the new parish of Uskela. The current stone church of Uskela, designed by Carl Ludvig Engel, was built between 1831 and 1832 near the site of the old chapel church in Salo, and the old stone chapel church was demolished for its building needs. On the site of the old mother church in Uskela, a belfry and a cemetery remained on the bank of the Uskelanjoki River, which still exist.
Subsequent changes were the founding of the Muurla Chapel Parish under the Uskela Parish in 1860 and the independence of Perttel as its own parish in 1869. At the same time, the municipal administration was started and the municipality of Perttel was founded in 1867 and the municipalities of Muurla and Uskela in 1868.
From the pre-trade to the union
Salo, which became an agglomeration within Uskela, became a township in 1872 and an independent municipality in 1891. As a parish, Salo became independent from Uskela in 1914 and Muurla in 1919. The area of the initially formed Salo township was only about 74 hectares, and around it, on the Salo and Haliko side, large densely populated "pre-township" areas had time to form. In 1932, however, these were incorporated into the Salo township, which now covers an area of 1,803 hectares and the population rose from 1,800 to more than 6,000. However, the boundaries of the parishes were not changed until 1935, when a decision was made to merge the parishes of Salo and Uskela into the parish of Salo-Uskela (although it did not materialize until 1951). Salo, which became a municipality in 1960 and Uskela, which remained a hole bakery, merged in 1967.
