'new land') is a region of Finland. It borders the regions of Southwest Finland, Tavastia Proper (Kanta-Häme), Päijänne Tavastia (Päijät-Häme), and Kymenlaakso. Finland's capital and largest city, Helsinki, along with the surrounding metropolitan area, are both contained in the region, and Uusimaa is Finland's most populous region. The population of Uusimaa is 1,734,000.While predominantly Finnish-speaking, Uusimaa has the highest total number of native speakers of Swedish in Finland even at a much lower share than two other regions. History From the time of the Vikings in the 8th century, an eastern road ran along the Gulf of Finland. The first inhabitants were nomads.BOOK, Paavola, Arja-Leena, Selén, Otto, Pekkanen, Risto, 2009, Matkalla maakunnissa - tietoa maakunnista ja nähtävyyksistä, Traveling in the regions - information about the regions and attractions, fi, Saarijärvi, AtlasArt, 978-952-5671-19-3, , pp. 5-7 The place name of Nuuksio derives from the Sami word which means 'swan'.BOOK, Tarkiainen, Kari, Ruotsin itämaa, Svenska litteratursällskapet i Finland, 2010, Helsinki, 120, fi, Later Finns proper and Tavastians inhabited the area. Some place names have traces of Tavastian village names, like Konala, which likely derives from the older Tavastian village name Konhola.BOOK, Ainiala, Terhi, Nimistötutkimuksen perusteet, Saarelma, Minna, Sjöblom, Paula, Suomalaisen Kirjallisuuden Seura, 2008, Helsinki, 66, fi, Estonians inhabited the region to a smaller extent, specifically for seasonal fishing.BOOK, Tarkiainen, Kari, Ruotsin itämaa, Svenska litteratursällskapet i Finland, 2010, Helsinki, 119–136, fi, Swedish colonisation of coastal Uusimaa started after the second crusade to Finland in the 13th century.WEB,weblink Helsingin keskiaikaiset ja uuden ajan alun kylänpaikat 2011, Inventointiraportti 2011. Museovirasto, V.-P.

Eastern Uusimaa had its first Christian Swedish colonialists earlier than the western part, which got its colonialists in one mass transfer of people to Porvoo in the 14th century. The colonisation was supported by the Swedish kingdom and the immigrants were provided with grain seeds and cattle. They also got a four-year tax exemption from the crown. All the Swedish place names of Uusimaa date back to this period.BOOK, Ainiala, Terhi, Nimistötutkimuksen perusteet, Saarelma, Minna, Sjöblom, Paula, Suomalaisen Kirjallisuuden Seura, 2008, Helsinki, 68, fi, The names Uusimaa and Nyland, meaning 'new land' in English, derived from the Swedish colonisation era. The Swedish-language name Nyland appears in documents from the 14th century. The Finnish-language name Uusimaa appears for the first time in 1548 as Wsimaa in the first translation of the New Testament to Finnish by Mikael Agricola.WEB,weblink Nytt Land, Nylands historia, Uusimaa Regional Council, May 12, 2010, May 17, 2010, sv,weblink" title="web.archive.org/web/20110716074117weblink">weblink July 16, 2011, dead, Much of Uusimaa is literally new – it has risen off the Baltic sea due to post-glacial rebound.The Finnish provinces were ceded to Imperial Russia in the War of Finland in 1809. After this, Uusimaa became the Province of Uusimaa in the old system. From 1997 to 2010, Uusimaa was a part of the Province of Southern Finland. In 1994 it was divided into the regions of Uusimaa and Eastern Uusimaa, but in 2011 the two regions were merged as Uusimaa.WEB, Valtioneuvosto päätti Uudenmaan ja Itä-Uudenmaan maakuntien yhdistämisestä, October 22, 2009, Ministry of Finance (Finland), Finnish Ministry of Finance, fi,weblinkweblink" title="web.archive.org/web/20110807084712weblink">weblink August 7, 2011, Heraldry The coat of arms of the province is {{cn-span|Azure, a boat Or between two fesses wavy Argent|date=April 2023}} (a golden boat which is a symbol for the coastal areas, and two silver wavy fesses which are the symbol for rivers.)Uusimaa received its coat of arms at the end of the 16th century.
