Kouvola is
a town and municipality in
south-eastern Finland.
It is located 134 kilometres (83 mi) northeast of the capital, Helsinki.
The
city has a population of 86,943 (31 January 2014) and
covers an area of 2,883.30 square kilometres (1,113.25 sq mi) of
which 325.06 km2(125.51 sq mi) is water. The population
density is
33.99 inhabitants per square kilometre (88.0 /sq mi).
Kouvola's
central location within Finland's borders and as a border post between the European
Union and Russian
Federation makes
it a quite lively town.] The town originally grew up around
the junction of the north-south and east-west rail tracks. It was also a major
road transport junction.
The card sent to me by Reino shows the Kouvola Railway Station
as it was in 1902.
