Nokia, Finland is a town on the banks of the Nokianvirta River (Kokemäenjoki) in the region of Pirkanmaa, some 15 kilometres (9 mi) west of Tampere. As of 30 September 2012 it has a population of 32,204.
As of 2008, the telecommunication company Nokia no longer has any operations in the city of Nokia. Despite the company having been founded in Nokia, the headquarters were moved to Espoo, and the main factories are in Salo, both nearly 200 kilometres south of Nokia. Almost every year, tourists come to Nokia expecting to find a great mobile phone museum, but the only connection to the company is the Nokia mansion, which is sometimes used for private parties for the company's executive staff. The city has repeatedly been asked to commemorate the company it gave birth to, but it has always declined, on the grounds that mobile phones were never produced there.
Nokia does have engineering and design facilities 15 kilometers away in nearby Tampere
