Länkipohja (in Finnish pronounced as /ˈlæŋkiˌpohjɑ/) is a locality in Jämsä, Finland, located by the lake Längelmävesi. It was the administrative center of the municipality of Längelmäki, which was divided between Jämsä and Orivesi in 2007.[1]
The village of Länkipohja was populated in the early 16th century and was mentioned as Lengellmapohia, a transcription of the original name, Längelmäpohja, in 1560. The name Längelmäpohja was used until the 18th century, when the current name Länkipohja appears.[2]
It is known of the 1918 Finnish Civil War Battle of Länkipohja.[3] The Länkipohja railway station was opened in 1948 as the first part of the Orivesi–Jyväskylä railway was completed. It was closed in 1987.[4]
