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.
Much of Uusimaa is literally new – it has risen off the Baltic sea due to post-glacial rebound. Do not translate text that appears unreliable or low-quality. If possible, verify the text with references provided in the foreign-language article. Helsinki's slang first evolved in the late 19th century. 8.5% of population of the region speak the Swedish language natively.
Due to immigration, many foreign languages are spoken in Uusimaa. 15.5% speak a foreign-language as their mother tongue, highest proportion in Finland and 58% of all foreign-language speakers in Finland. The figure was 1.1% in 1990, 3.9% in 2000, 8.0% in 2010 and 11.3% in 2015.
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. 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 lääni system.
All the Swedish place names of Uusimaa date back to this period. 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 Greater Helsinki area, are both contained in the region, and Uusimaa is Finland's most populous region. Uusimaa received its coat of arms at the end of the 16th century. In 1997, the traditional coat of arms became the official coat of arms of the region.
