[1] The official district of Tourula borders Lohikoski in the north, Kangasvuori in the northeast, Halssila in the east, Lutakko in the south, Puistola in the west and Taulumäki in the northwest.

[2][3] The area was transferred from Jyväskylän maalaiskunta to Jyväskylä in 1941,[1] and after that the wooden houses started to decay and they were torn down during the 1970s and 1980s.

The ownership of Huikko also changed due to the Greater Wrath, after which it was inhabited by the Savonian Oittinen family at least until the end of the 18th century.

[6] Huikko, Tourula and the farms separated from them formed a jakokunta (a division of an official village) of Jyväskylä.

[8] The paper mill was first owned by Gustaf Adolf Serlachius and later by Metsä-Serla/M-real until September 2008, when it was sold to the South African Sappi Limited.

During the Second World War, the production was partially relocated to the military depot in Seppälänkangas and the factories of Vaajakoski owned by SOK.
