Lyötistä Lyöttiläksi erään kaakkois-hämäläisen kylän vanhinta asutushistoriaa
Mukula, Jaakko | Mäkelä, Anneli
Lyöttilä village, located in the parish of Iitti, southeastern Tawastia, was established in the 15th century on a remote land holding of the Kurjala noble estate. Before the agricultural settlement, thisarea was divided into four parts, Lyöttilä proper, Marjaniemi, Pilkanmaa, and Pyhäniemi or Vitsakorpi. In 1458 a man named Peter Lötti obtained a legal ratification for his ownership of Lyöttilä proper. By 1539 fourteen farms were situated in the area. In 1538 Kurjala rented Marjaniemi to the inhabitants of Lyöttilä proper and gave up Pilkanmaa, probably at the same time. Pyhäniemi was held by Kurjala until the beginning of the 17th century as a secret horse breeding farm defaulting taxes. Two large uninhabited woodland areas, Toittulanmaa and, what was later named Kymentaustanmaa, as well as an adjacent one-farm community, Niemenkylä, were also included in the medieval Lyöttilä. The parish church of litti was established on the Niemenkylä area at the beginning of the 16th century, resulting in the removal of the Niemenkylä farm into the area of Lyöttilä proper. Two new villages, Pilkanmaa and Kyöperilä, grew from Lyöttilä proper in the late 16th century. Similarly, Niemenkylä was separated from Lyöttilä as a landed estate of the parish priest, or »Pappila», and later developed into a separate village named Kirkonkylä (»Church Village»).
