Uusimaa (historical Province)

Uusimaa (Swedish: Nyland), is a historical province in the south of Finland. It borders to Finland Proper, Tavastia, Savonia, and Karelia. The English translation would be "new land". From the Middle Ages to 1809, most of the present-day Finland was a part of Kingdom of Sweden. Uusimaa (Nyland) was thus included also among the historical Swedish provinces.
