History [edit]

A painstakingly restored Breetish "Neilson and Company" ingine, uised in Finland frae 1869 well intae the 1920s, preservit at the Finnish Railway Museum

In the 16t century there wis a tavern in the aurie nou kent as Hyvinkäänkylä, which lees approximately hauf-wey atween Helsinki an Hämeenlinna. The first tax catalogues an aw marked the existence o some hooses in the aurie aroond the same time.

Hyvinkää veelage gradually grew in the latter hauf o the 19t century, though it wis the construction o the railway netwirk through Finland, beginnin in 1861, that marked the stairtin point for the toun's rapid growth.

The construction o Finland's first stretch o railroad, the Helsinki–Hämeenlinna line, determined the location o the present ceety centre an the railway station o Hyvinkää is ane o the few oreeginal stations still in uise. Frae Hyvinkää the railway an aw branches aff tae the port o Hanko. The Hanko–Hyvinkää Railroad wis the first private railroad in Finland, foondit in 1872, an acquired bi the Finnish State RR Co. in 1875. In the early 1900s the station veelage in Hyvinkää wis an intermediate stoppin point for mony emigrants leavin bi ship frae Hanko for a new life in North Americae.

The air quality o Hyvinkää wis considered healthy due tae dense pine forests, an in the 1880s a group o pheesicians frae Helsinki opened a sanatorium for patients seekin rest an recuperation.

Industrialization brought a wool factory tae Hyvinkää in 1892 – the Donner family's Hyvinge Yllespinneri. The factory ceased operation in the 1990s, but the red-brick halls still remain. The biggin haes foond several new uises, includin an exhibition centre an a theater.

Hyvinkää airfield servit as the kintra's main airport for a short time efter the seicont Warld War while the airport at Malmi, Helsinki in Helsinki wis unner the control o the Alleed Powers. There is nou a motorsports centre near the airfield.
