History

Oripää is named after a nearby hill, Orivuori (literally the "stallion mountain"), which may also have been called Oripää ("stallion head") at some point. As a village, Oripää is first mentioned in 1421. It was a part of the Pöytyä parish, but administratively a part of the Kumogård castle fief (linnalääni/slottslän), i.e. Satakunta. In the 15th century, the bishop of Turku had five leasehold farms in the village.[6]

Oripää gained chapel rights in 1778 and became an independent parish in 1901.[7]
