The story

The toponym Konnevesi was first mentioned in 1554 as Konnevessij äremarch. The name is derived from the lake Konnevesi, which in turn likely refers to a Sámic word meaning "deer" (reconstructed proto-Sámic *kontē).

Konnevesi was separated from Rautalampi in 1922. A municipal merger with Laukaa was planned in 2012, but was not accepted by the municipal government of Konnevesi.
