Iisalmi (Swedish: Idensalmi) is a town and municipality in the Region of Northern Savonia in Finland. The municipality has a population of 21,947 (31 March 2016) and covers an area of 872.13 square kilometres (336.73 sq mi) of which 109.22 km2 (42.17 sq mi) is water. The population density is 28.77 inhabitants per square kilometre (74.5/sq mi). The municipality is unilingually Finnish.
Iisalmi traces its roots back to 1627, when the parish of Iisalmi was formed around the local church. In the 18th century, when Finland was under Swedish control, Sweden was frequently at war with Imperial Russia, and the area of Koljonvirta in Iisalmi was a battlefield on which one of the greatest Swedish victories occurred. However, Sweden lost its last war with Russia and had to surrender Finland to the Russian Empire in 1809. Iisalmi gained its status as town in 1891.
