History
Halssila (or Halsila) was originally the name of a farm in the eastern part of the modern district.[2] Halssila started to develop in the 1920s when factor workers started to build houses in the area.[3] It was merged into Jyväskylä in 1941.[4] Halssila was known as a working-class district, but the reputation started to change in the 1960s after the area started to grow faster and the old labour movement became to fade away.[5] In the 1970s the construction of new neighborhoods, mainly made of apartment buildings, was started.[3] During the 2000s and 2010s other new neighborhoods were constructed.[5][6]
