Grant of Town Rights to Heinola
- When
- 26 December 1839
- Where
- Heinola
Heinola received town rights on 26 December 1839 from Tsar Nicholas I as Grand Duke of Finland, compensating for provincial capital relocation.
The grant occurred within the Grand Duchy of Finland, an autonomous region of the Russian Empire. Nicholas I, reigning from 1825 to 1855, issued the charter. The action compensated for the eastward movement of the provincial capital following Finland's incorporation into Russia in 1809. The Grand Duke's authority was exercised through the established administrative structures of the Grand Duchy.
