[1] The areas of Kiltakallio, Kirkkojärvi, Saarniraivio, Suna, Suvela and Tuomarila belong to Espoon keskus.

Archaeological evidence shows that the area which Espoon keskus dominates today was inhabited several thousands of years ago.

The village consisted of five larger estates (that have later given their names to some areas that belong to Espoon keskus): Doms (Tuomarila), Jofs (Jouppi), Kirsti (Kirstinmäki), Dahl and Suna.

The first kansakoulu (elementary school) of Espoo, Lagstads folkskola, was opened in 1873.

However, "Muurala" might replace the name of Espoon keskus as part of the efforts to improve the reputation of the area.
