Did you know the brand Nokia is named after a place in Southern Finland?

The company was founded in 1865 as a pulp mill in the town of Nokia, Finland. The town is located on the Nokianvirta River, which is where the company got its name.

Nokia has a long and rich history, and the company has played a major role in the development of telecommunications technology. Nokia was one of the first companies to develop mobile phones, and the company's phones were once very popular all over the world.

Today, Nokia is still a major player in the telecommunications industry, and the company is also involved in a number of other businesses, including network infrastructure, software, and mapping.

I think it's interesting that Nokia is named after a place in Finland. It's a reminder that even the biggest and most successful companies often have humble beginnings.
