Leinola

[1] Leinola was mentioned in the 1540 land register as a village belonging to the parish of Messukylä, with five houses.

Messukylä was annexed to the city of Tampere in 1947, and the first town plan for the Leinola area was confirmed in 1952.

[2] The area's street names includes both Kalevala-themed and canine-themed nomenclatures, the latter based on the old place called Koiramäki ("dog hill").

[2] Instead, the street names Lukinkatu, Mikkolankatu and Vestonkatu refer to old main buildings of the historical village.

The name of Karjumäenkatu is based on Karjumäki ("boar hill"), located north of the street, which was once used as a pig pasture.
