Koski Tl (Finnish pronunciation: [ˈkoski]; Swedish: Koskis) is a municipality of Finland.
It is located in the Southwest Finland region and was part of the former province of Western Finland. The municipality has a population of 2,194 (31 August 2024)[2] and covers an area of 192.42 square kilometres (74.29 sq mi) of which 0.96 km2 (0.37 sq mi) is water.[1] The population density is 11.46 inhabitants per square kilometre (29.7/sq mi).
Tl in the name means the former province of Turku and Pori (Finnish: Turun ja Porin lääni). It was attached to the name to distinguish Koski Tl from another municipality named Koski, Koski Hl (Hl for the former province of Häme, Finnish: Hämeen lääni). Koski Hl was renamed Hämeenkoski in 1995 but Koski Tl has not changed its name.
Koski is unilingually Finnish.
