Seutula is also a village in the medieval town of Helsinki, stretching to Rajakoski in the north, Lavanko in the east covering the whole district of Kiila, and including Sotilaskorpi in the south.

On the other hand, the western part of the river's curve, including the Königstedt Manor, belongs to the village of Riipilä.

In the early 1950s, a new airfield for Helsinki was built along the Seutulantie road, stretching from Tuusulantie in Ruskeasanta to Seutula.

In reality, the airfield was built about 8 kilometres southeast from Seutula, in the northern parts of Veromiehenkylä and Kirkonkylä.

Some of the prisoners used to build the airfield were public figures of the 1960s, convicted of driving under influence, bringing the activity to light.
