The Agrarian League

The Agrarian League was a Finnish political party founded in 1906, primarily representing the interests of farmers and rural communities. It aimed to protect agricultural livelihoods, promote rural development, and advocate for land reforms. Over time, it became a major political force in Finland, emphasizing decentralization and social welfare for rural areas. In 1965, it renamed itself the Centre Party, reflecting its broader focus on national issues beyond rural concerns. The party has played a significant role in shaping Finnish politics, balancing the needs of rural populations with national economic and social development.
