Saukkola village is considered to have been born around 1540, when there were three houses in the village. The name Saukkola (literally means the "place of otter") may have come from the owner of the first house in the village, whose name was again due to, for example, the hunting industry; otters, to which the name of the village refers, were also caught in the local region.
