The story

There is written evidence of the settlement of Kurikka since the 1540s. As conditions developed in Finland, industrialization began in Kurikka at the beginning of the 20th century, with the metal and wood industries. Kurikka initially belonged to the Isokyrö parish. Kurikka chapel was founded in 1672. The municipality gained independence from Ilmajoki in 1868; it received kauppala rights in 1966 and became a town in 1977.
