Saukkola (Finnish: [ˈsɑu̯ˌkːolɑ]) is an urban area and district in the city of Lohja and the former administrative centre of the Nummi-Pusula municipality.
[2] The name Saukkola (literally means the "place of otter") may have come from the owner of the first house in the village, whose name was again due to, for example, the hunting industry; otters, to which the name of the village refers, were also caught in the local region.
[2] Saukkola has an industrial area in the middle of settlements, a filling station and many shops on the Nummi-Pusula scale.
[5] In his final years, Saukkola was home to Leo Fabritius, who, before his death in 2005, was the last Finnish citizen to survive the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939) on the Republic's side.
