Geography

Villages

Officially Kodisjoki only had a single village, also called Kodisjoki.[1] The village consists of multiple parts: Ahteri, Heikolankulma, Heinilä, Isopuoli, Sahankulma, Vuorela and Ylöjänpää.[2]

History

Kodisjoki was first mentioned in 1504 as a part of the Laitila parish. Its name is derived from a dialectal word kodiksin/kodismaa[3] referring to a garden or a small field next to a house. The name of Kodjala in Laitila has a similar etymology. Kodisjoki became a separate municipality in 1896, but due to its small size, it was still ecclesiastically subordinate to Laitila.[4][5]

Kodisjoki was consolidated with the town of Rauma in 2007.
