Vyborg - History
The area where Vyborg is located used to be a trading center on River Vuoksi's western branch, which has been dried up. The area used to be inhabited by the Karelians, a Finnic tribe which gradually came under the domination of Novgorod and Sweden.
The first castle of Viborg was founded during the third Swedish crusade in 1293 by the marshal Torkel Knutsson. The castle was fought over for centuries between Sweden and the Republic of Novgorod. By the treaty of Nöteborg in 1323 Viborg was finally recognized as a part of Sweden.
The town's trade privileges were chartered by King Eric of Pomerania in 1403. Viborg remained in Swedish hands until its storm by Peter the Great in the Great Northern War (1710). The Treaty of Nystad (1721), which concluded the war, assigned the town to Russia. After the rest of Finland was ceded to Russia in 1808, Alexander I of Russia incorporated the town into the newly-created Grand Duchy of Finland in 1812.
In the course of the 19th century, the town developed as the center of administration for the eastern part of Finland. The inauguration of the Saimaa Canal in 1856 benefitted the local economy.
