[4] The district (kaupunginosa, for local development) does not contain the statistical area of "Puuppola itäinen", which is a part of Matinmäki instead.

[3] The register village also included Kuikka and Hiekkapohja, and bordered Tikka-Mannila in the north, Palokka in the east and south, and Vesanka and Nyrölä in the west.

The word kortta has not been attested from the dialects of Central Finland, therefore the kortta- element is likely a corruption of korte ("horsetail").

As Puuppola was connected well to the rest of Jyväskylä, new people started moving in soon and by the early 1990s, the population had increased to 1,600.

As there was not enough free land in Tikkakoski, a plan was made to develop Puuppola or Lehesvuori into an urban area for 10,000 inhabitants.

This was opposed by the village association of Puuppola, who believed that an urbanization plan similar to the one made for Kuokkala earlier was partially enforced by the town of Jyväskylä onto the rural municipality.

[2] A new zoning plan was made in 2005, which would have expanded Palokka towards Lintukangas and closer to Puuppola by constructing 210 houses, intended for 800 new residents.

[19] There is a small (0,4 MW) hydroelectric plant in the lower Autiojoki river between the lakes Korttajärvi and Luonetjärvi.

Since 2018, there have been plans to demolish it in order to restore the river into its natural state, especially to allow brown trout to reproduce in the area.
