Satakunta, the oldest historical province in Finland, is located on the southwest coast of Finland and it is one of the 19 regions in Finland. There are 21 municipalities (2010 -) in the region. The total population of the region is about 227 000. The regional centres are the city of Pori and the city of Rauma.
Finland's fifth longest river, the Kokemäenjoki, flows through the region into the Gulf of Bothnia. It reaches the sea at Pori, forming a major estuary, which is unique in Europe for its vast area of wetlands. The Kokemäenjoki river valley has been identified as one of the major urban and infrastructure corridors in Finland. This corridor connects the most important west coast harbours of Pori and Rauma to other industrial centres of central Finland by means of rail and road networks.
