About Iitti
The municipal centre of Iitti isKausala, by the railway and national road 12, while the Iitti parish village (Iitin kirkonkylä) lies 7.5 km to the north, surrounded by lakes. Iitti became a parish 1539. The railroad betweenRiihimäkiandSaint Petersburgwas built in the 1960s, and Kausala became the effective centre. 1872 a paper mill was built in Kuusankoski. 1921 Kuusankoski became an independent municipality and Iitti lost most of its industry. The section of Kymijoki between the lake Konnivesi in the north and Pyhäjärvi by the parish village has hydroelectric plants (Vuolenkoski and Mankala). These (and the former rapids) are bypassed by the Kimola canal, formerly used for timber floating, but in the 2010s upgraded for river tour boats and leisure vessels. The racetrack Kymi Ring is in Ii
