Mäki-Matti is a district and a statistical area of Jyväskylä, Finland and a part of the Kantakaupunki ward.[2][3] The statistical area contains the Nousukatu, Hippos, Rautpohja, Kyllö and Syrjälä subareas.[3] Mäki-Matti has several services such as schools, a convenience store, a pub and a R-Kioski shop. The oldest family park of Finland is also located in the district.[2]

Mäki-Matti is the first suburb of Jyväskylä to be merged into the city, which was done in 1914.[4]

History

Mäki-Matti is named after a tenant farmer named Matti Matinpoika (fl. 1806-1865), whose tenure farm was split from the Syrjälä/Taavettila farm. A hill in the area was given the name Mäki-Matin mäki after Matti and his home. Eventually the name was given to the community that had developed in the area.[5]

Osuuskauppa Mäki-Matti was founded in 1905. It was one of the first cooperative shops in Finland. Mäki-Matti was transferred from Jyväskylän maalaiskunta to Jyväskylä in 1908.[5]
