History

[edit]

The village ofTöysäjärvi was established sometime before 1568. It was larger than the modern Töysä and a part of theLapua parish. When theKuortane chapel community was formed in 1645, Töysäjärvi was one of its villages. By the 17th century, the village's name had been shortened toTöysä. Its western part was called Ala-Töysä while the eastern part was called Yli-Töysä. In 1798, Kuortane became a parish while Yli-Töysä became a chapel community within Kuortane namedTöysä. At the same time, Ala-Töysä was moved to theAlavus chapel community. The nameAla-Töysä was later supplanted byRanta-Töysä.[4]

Töysä became a municipality in 1865 and got a parish in 1926. Töysä was consolidated with Alavus in 2013.
