==History==
Kontiolahti originally belonged to the parish of [[Liperi]]. It became an independent municipality in 1873. The [[flood]] nuisance of [[Lake Höytiäinen]] and the desire for water abandonment inspired residents to try to build a [[canal]] to lower the water level, but the [[dam]] broke uncontrollably in 1859, and the landscape changed dramatically.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.kontiolahti.fi/historian-havinaa | title = Historian Havinaa | publisher = Kontiolahti | access-date = August 8, 2021 | language = fi}}</ref> After [[World War II]], the [[Ruskeala]]'s migrants were stationed in Kontiolahti.
