He originated from [[Konnevesi]], which was a part of the [[Rautalampi]] parish at the time. The island named ''Kolarinsaari'' near the village of [[Istunmäki]] was likely his original home, as the Savonian surname ''Kolari'' originates from the same island.{{citation needed|date=May 2024}}<br /> <br /> The area of Kolari was a part of the [[Pajala]] parish, which is in modern Sweden. Kolari started growing in the 17th century due to the nearby [[Kengis]] (Köngäs) ironworks established in 1644. Kolari was home to many skilled blacksmiths. Charcoal, tar and chalk were produced and delivered to [[Tornio]].{{citation needed|date=May 2024}}<br /> <br /> <br /> After Russia gained Finland in 1809, it was transferred to the Turtola parish, modern [[Pello]]. As the winter market could no longer be held in Kengis due to the new border, they were held on the island of Kolarinsaari in the Tornio river. Kolari became a chapel community in 1856 and a separate parish in 1894.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|title=SuomalainenPaikannimikirja_e-kirja_kuvallinen.pdf|url=https://kaino.kotus.fi/www/verkkojulkaisut/julk63/SuomalainenPaikannimikirja_e-kirja_kuvallinen.pdf|page=172|access-date=August 24, 2022|website=kaino.kotus.fi|language=fi}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|title=Kolarin tarina - Kolarin kunta|url=https://www.kolari.fi/fi/kuntainfo/kolarin-tarina.html|access-date=August 24, 2022|website=kolari.fi|language=fi}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> * [[Äkäslompolo]]<br /> * [[Levi, Finland]]<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{Reflist}}<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> {{commons category-inline|Kolari}}<br /> *[http://www.kolari.fi/ Municipality of Kolari] – Official website (in Finnish)<br /> *[https://web.archive.org/web/20070918090125/http://www.kolari.fi/web/index.php?id=3 Archived English version of the official website's homepage]<br /> *[http://www.yllas.fi/?deptid=8951 Ylläs webpage]<br /> *{{Wikivoyage-inline|Kolari}}<br /> <br /> {{Geographic location<br /> | Centre = Kolari<br /> | N = [[Muonio]]<br /> | E = [[Kittilä]]<br /> | SE = [[Rovaniemi]]<br /> | S = [[Pello]]<br /> | W = {{Flagicon|SWE}} [[Pajala Municipality|Pajala]]<br /> }}<br /> {{Lapland}}<br /> {{Authority control}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Kolari| ]]<br /> [[Category:Populated places established in 1867]]<br /> [[Category:Ski areas and resorts in Finland]]<br /> [[Category:1867 establishments in the Russian Empire]]<br /> [[Category:Municipalities of Lapland (Finland)]]<br /> <br /> <br /> {{Lapland-geo-stub}}</div>
