It is known that there were few farm houses in Tapanila already in the 16th century. Back then Tapanila was one of the biggest villages in Helsinki area. In 1862, railroad between Hämeenlinna and Tapanila was built.[2] Tapanila was largely rebuilt from 1910–1935 based on Letchworth Garden City in England, the first in the Garden city movement. The area was annexed to Helsinki in 1946.
