This paper analyzes long-term spatial developments in Finland by focusing on two predictions of
the new economic geography (NEG) models: the increasing persistence of locational patterns and the rising
dominance of growth centers. The empirical analysis is based on regional population data from 1880 to
2004. The results support the hypotheses. Evolutions in rank and rank-size distributions during the
processes of industrialization and urbanization suggest increasing persistence of regional structures. The
analysis of causal processes between population centers and their hinterlands shows that these regions grew
hand-in-hand in the pre-war period, whereas agglomeration shadows started to come about during the postwar
period.
