Multia settlement is recorded in the records in 1564 and in the same century the Nikara wilderness house was built in Nikaranperä.
The first inhabitants settled in the Nikara area in the late 1552s. At the time, there were no transport connections in the vast wilderness, except for water bodies. Residents cleared and planned a route towards Multia and Keuruu, where the first church was built in 1628.
