At the moment, Pitkäranta is a city with a population of 11 thousand people, its city-forming enterprise is a pulp and paper mill, built by the Finns in 1921.
The name Pitkaranta is translated into Russian as "long coast": the northern coast of Ladoga is cut by straits and peninsulas, and in this place, as can be seen on the map, a straight coastline stretches for a long time. For the first time, the Karelian village of Pitkaranda was mentioned in 1500 in the census register book of the Vodskaya pyatina of Novgorod Rus. Under the Finns, Pitkäranta was a village (although it began to grow with the opening of the pulp and paper mill) as part of the Impilahti volost.

At the same time, the Pitkyaranta region was formed with the center in Salmi, in 1944 the settlement of Impilahti became the regional center, and only in 1952 Pitkyaranta itself.
