Eno, Finland

Eno [ ɛnɔ ] is a former municipality in eastern Finland with about 6800 inhabitants. At the beginning of 2009, it was amalgamated with Pyhäselkä in the city of Joensuu.

Eno is located south of Pielinen lake in the countryside of northern Karelia around 30 km north-east from Joensuu to its outflow Pielisjoki. The community has two local centers: the Kirchdorf Eno with about 2000 inhabitants and the industrial center Uimaharju with about 1600 inhabitants. In addition, belong to the municipality of the villages Ahveninen, Karhunsalo, Kuisma - Majoinvaara, Louhioja, Luhtapohja - Palovaara, Paukkaja, Revonkylä, Sarvinki - Pirttivaara, Siikavaara - Savivaara - Pahkavaara and Ukkola.

Eno is the most important industrial center of the region. Especially the wood processing industry plays a major role: the largest employer in the community is the group Stora Enso with a pulp mill and a sawmill. Traditionally, the Pielisjoki river has the residents of Eno offered by rafting and fishing employment.

The word eno means in today's Finnish " maternal uncle ". However, the name of the village derives from an older homonymous word meaning " power " or " big river " and refers to the Pielisjoki.

Eno is the birthplace of Finnish biathlete Mari Laukkanen.
