History

Liljendal was originally the name of a seat farm (säteri) in the village of Sävträsk. Its name may have been derived from that of an old Cistercian monastery in Lower Saxony, Lilienthal. At the time, it was a part of the Pernå (Pernaja) parish. The name got its current meaning when the seat farm and nine villages near it became their own chapel community in 1791.{{Cite web|title=SuomalainenPaikannimikirja_e-kirja_kuvallinen.pdf|url=https://kaino.kotus.fi/www/verkkojulkaisut/julk63/SuomalainenPaikannimikirja_e-kirja_kuvallinen.pdf|page=237|access-date=August 25, 2022|website=kaino.kotus.fi|language=fi}} Liljendal became a separate parish in 1914.{{Cite web|title=Suomen Sukututkimusseura - Liljendal|url=https://hiski.genealogia.fi/seurakunnat/srk?CMD=SRK&ID=297&TYPE=HTML&LANG=FI|access-date=August 25, 2022|website=hiski.genealogia.fi|language=fi}}
