History
Part of Ykspää was merged from the Vyborg municipality into the city of Vyborg, along with suburbs of the city, in 1933.[1]: 252 In the same year the city of Vyborg submitted an initiative to the Finnish Government to merge further areas from the municipality, including the majority of the village of Ykspää. The municipality opposed the initiative and submitted its own one, proposing that the previously merged areas from Ykspää, Naulasaari, and Haavankylä should be remerged back to the municipality. In 1938 the Finnish Government decided that 27 estates would be remerged to the municipality.[1]: 256–259
