'''Oulunkylä''' ({{langx|sv|Åggelby}}, also known as ''Ogeli'') is a suburb and a [[Subdivisions of Helsinki#Neighbourhoods|neighbourhood]] of [[Helsinki]], the capital of [[Finland]]. It is located {{convert|6|km|0}} north from the center of the city.<br />
<br />
It has been inhabited since the 13th century. Earlier an independent [[Municipalities of Finland|municipality]], it was made part of Helsinki in 1946.<br />
<br />
Oulunkylä is also the name of a [[Subdivisions of Helsinki#List of Helsinki districts|district]]. It consists of Patola, Veräjämäki and Veräjälaakso, and has a total [[area]] of 4.51&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup>.<ref name=hel2.fi>http://www.hel2.fi/tietokeskus/helsinki_alueittain_2005/404Oulunkyl%C3%A4.pdf Information about Oulunkylä district and its subareas{{in lang|fi}}</ref><br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
For centuries, Oulunkylä was part of ''Helsingin pitäjä'' (now [[Vantaa]]). The neighbourhood started to grow after a [[Oulunkylä railway station|railway station]] was founded there in 1881 along the Finland's [[Finnish Main Line|first railway line]] between Helsinki and [[Hämeenlinna]]. In the late 19th century and early 20th century Oulunkylä was known for many [[villa]]s that were built there. In 1921 it was separated from ''Helsingin pitäjä'' and became an independent municipality. However, most of the Oulunkylä area was already owned by the City of Helsinki and in 1946 Oulunkylä, along with many other suburbs, was annexed by Helsinki.<ref name="aikakerrostumat">{{cite book|last1=Kervanto Nevanlinna|first1=Anja|title=Oulunkylä - Åggelby, vanhan huvilakaupungin aikakerrostumat|date=2014|publisher=Oulunkylä-Seura|isbn=978-952-93-3722-4}}</ref><br />
<br />
The modern Oulunkylä is largely constructed according to the [[zoning]] scheme of 1953 that transformed the neighbourhood from a villa community into an apartment building suburb.<ref name="aikakerrostumat" /><br />
