Vaasa burned down in 1852, ruins can be seen in Vanha Vaasa about 7 km South and East from the current centre. After the fire, the good people of Vaasa made a petition to the Russian Tsar Emperor, Nikolai I, to have permission to move the location of the city to it's current place. With the rising of the land, the new location was also closer to the sea shore. At the same time, the good people of Vaas petitioned that the name of the city would be changed to Nikolaistad / Nikolainkaupunki. The Tsar Emperor granted both petitions.

Fun fact: Hovioikeudenpuistikko, Kauppapuistikko, Kirkkopuistikko, Korshholmanpuistikko are a network of fire-prevention measures in the newly built Vaasa city (from 1952 onwards). These streets were on purpose built so wide that in case fire would start again, it would not sweep through the whole city so easily. City planning by Carl Axel Setterberg (a.k.a. Karl Aksel Zetterberg) (1812-1871).
