History
The earliest information on the administrative parish of Padasjoki is from 1442. Most of the villages of Padasjoki were established during the Middle Ages, being mentioned in sources from the 15th century.[3]
In 2020, Padasjoki was the setting of a video and choral tribute by the YL Male Voice Choir to the song "Pohjois-Karjala", by Leevi and the Leavings and Gösta Sundqvist.[4] The video, seen over 100,000 times in a single day, credits the city of Padasjoki as well as some local businesses and features several rural views including a farm, swamps, a wooden bus stop, a barber shop and a Matkahuolto station with a visible "Padasjoki" sign.[5]
