Kivistö is a district and major region of the municipality of Vantaa, Finland, located within the northwestern part of the city.

[2] The earliest evidence of settlement in the area dates back to the early 16th century.

The name "Kivistö" was coined by them, and it is thought to be in reference to the inarable exposed granite bedrock common to the area.

After three years of complaints and protests, the ban was lifted, and Kivistö was permitted electrical power.

Protests included the construction of a roadside sign leading into the district that read: "Öljylamppukylä—jo 3 vuotta n. 200 taloa ilman sähköä" or "Oil Lamp Town—already 3 years of about 200 houses without electricity".
