Kouvola's central location within Finland's borders and as a border post between the European Union and Russian Federation makes it a quite lively town. However, Kouvola has a reputation of being a dull and uninteresting place. The town originally grew up around the junction of the north–south and east–west rail tracks. It was also a major road transport junction. Kouvola still treasures and benefits from its logistically good location.

In January 2009, the six municipalities – Kouvola, Kuusankoski, Elimäki, Anjalankoski, Valkeala and Jaala – were consolidated, accounting for the new municipality of Kouvola.
