Kolho is a village in the city-municipality of Mänttä-Vilppula in Finland. It is located along the Tampere–Haapamäki Line, where Kolho railway station is located.[1]
During the Finnish Civil War, in winter 1918, the Finnish air force used Kolho as a base. Kolho has influenced a number of Finnish artists ranging from Eero Järnefelt, Akseli Gallen-Kallela to Pentti Saarikoski and also was the site of the worst church boat accident in Finnish history.
Kolho played a role in the rise of the Finnish paper industry together with the neighbouring Mänttä community, and among the notable figures in Kolho's industry was the industrialist Matthias Bonn (1853–1927).[2] More recently Kolho is known for its natural environment and is a summer resort destination.[citation needed]
James Vehko (aka Jalmari Vehkomäki), the designer of the first Ford's metallic automobile chassis, was originally from Kolho.[citation needed]
