History


Haapajärvi was first mentioned in 1548 as Hapaierffue (a Swedish transcription of the Finnish name), when it was a part of the parish of Kalajoki. It acquired its own chapel in 1698.[6]

Haapajärvi became an independent parish in 1838. Nivala was split off from Haapajärvi as its own parish in 1876.
