Mariehamn 150 Years.

2011 marks 150 years since the foundation of Mariehamn.

Plans for founding a town in Aland had long existed and a variety of locations had been discussed. 

In 1859, Tsar Alexander II of Russia recommended that a town be established and, two years later, he issued a charter of foundation. The town was named after Empress Consort Maria Alexandrova.
