Oripää (Finnish pronunciation: [ˈoriˌpæː]) is a municipality of Finland.
It is located in the Southwest Finland region. The municipality has a population of 1,315 (31 December 2023) [2] and covers an area of 117.72 square kilometres (45.45 sq mi) of which 0.1 km2 (0.039 sq mi) is water. [1] The population density is 11.16 inhabitants per square kilometre (28.9/sq mi).
The municipality is unilingually Finnish.
Oripää is named after a nearby hill, Orivuori (literally the " stallion mountain"), which may also have been called Oripää ("stallion head") at some point. As a village, Oripää is first mentioned in 1421. It was a part of the Pöytyä parish, but administratively a part of the Kumogård castle fief (linnalääni/slottslän), i.e. Satakunta. In the 15th century, the bishop of Turku had five leasehold farms in the village. [5]
Oripää gained chapel rights in 1778 and became an independent parish in 1901. [6]
