Pori (Swedish: Björneborg) is a city and municipality on the west coast of Finland. Pori literally means 'Bear City'. The name comes from the -borg part (meaning citadel, fortress or castle) of the original name in Swedish with a Fennicised pronunciation. Pori was established in 1558 by Duke John, who later became King John III of Sweden. The city has a population of 83,171 (28 February 2023) and it is the 10th largest city in Finland, and the 7th largest urban area. Pori is especially known nationwide for its Jazz Festival, Yyteri's sandy beaches, Kirjurinluoto, Porin Ässät ice hockey club, FC Jazz football club, which won two championships in the Veikkausliiga in the 1990s, and Pori Theater, which is the first Finnish-language theater in Finnish history. Pori is also known for its local street food called porilainen. During its history, the city of Pori has burned down nine times; only Oulu has burned more often, as many as ten times.
