Epilä

The area is bordered on the north by the Tampere–Pori railway and Lielahti, on the east by Hyhky's Vaakonkatu, on the west by Rahola and on the south by Kaarila.

Epilä, located in the present Winter area, is mentioned in the 1540 land register as a house belonging to the village of Tohloppi, the parish of Pirkkala, which was owned by Heikki Epi at that time.

During the Finnish Civil War, in March-April 1918, fierce battles were fought in Epilä as part of the Battle of Tampere; the Red Guard, led by Aatto Koivunen, defeated the Whites, led by Swedish Colonel Hjalmarson, on several occasions.

[1] The Epilä railway stop's shutdown was decommissioned in 1979, when it was used for passenger transport until it was opened.
