Lake Pääjärvi is situated at the border between Hämeenkoski and Hämeenlinna (formerly Lammi).
Hämeenkoski was originally known as Koski. It was initially a part of the Lammi administrative division and the Hauho parish. Lammi became a separate parish in the beginning of the 15th century or slightly earlier. Koski was first mentioned as a separate parish in 1410, but it was merged into Lammi as a chapel community in 1540. The chapel was also known as Etola after another village in the area. Koski became a separate parish from Lammi in 1870. The name Hämeen-Koski was first suggested for the parish in 1897 by Väino Wallin to distinguish it from Koski Tl, at the time still a part of Marttila. Koski Hl was renamed Hämeenkoski in 1995.[4] [5]
Hämeenkoski was consolidated with Hollola in 2016.
