Named in memory of the Swedish count Per Brahe (1602–1680), who was governor general of Finland. The “count’s epoch” was a happy era, with the establishment of Academia Aboensis, the first university in Finland, the construction of various new towns and many schools, and the publication of the first Finnish Bible.
