The municipality had a population of 1,677 (31 December 2008)[2] and covered a land area of 142.34 square kilometres (54.96 sq mi).

Farming started along Loimijoki already in the Iron Age, and by the 13th century at the latest, almost all of Vampula's major inhabited villages were recorded by the church authority.

The first inhabitants arrived in the Vampula area probably from Huittinen, but the oldest church connections point to Säkylä.

This first sanctuary is used as a motif for the municipality's coat of arms, which depicts a cross and four nails as a metaphor for the builders.

The Finnish senate made a decision to establish Vampula congregation in 1891, but independence from Huittinen was only realized in 1900.
