Joensuu was founded in 1848 on the west bank of the Pieli River, promoting North Karelia's trade and economic life. The city was built according to a regular plan with wide, straight streets. Along the bank of the river, esplanades were laid out with avenues of large birches, whereby the harbor part with the lower lock of the Pieli canal made a neat impression; from there the great bridge over the river also went to its eastern bank.
