Maalaiskunta (Finnish), landskommun (Swedish), "rural municipality", abbreviated mlk was one of the four types of municipality in Finland in 1865–1976. Other types in 1865–1959 were city and market town, in 1960–1976 old city, new city and market town. Maalaiskunta was the most common type of municipality. In the 1977 reform, all municipalities were given fully equal legal standing. Previous maalaiskuntas associated with a city retained their name. For example, Rovaniemen maalaiskunta surrounded the city of Rovaniemi, but were independently governed. From 2009, no municipalities will carry this name any more, after the merger of Jyväskylä and Jyväskylän mlk.

The length of the road is about 385 kilometres (239 mi), which makes it the longest 2nd class main route in Finland. In the 1938 road numbering system, main road 58 was the road between Lahti and Padasjoki, but after the completion of the Helsinki–Lahti road, Highway 4 switched to Lahti and road number 58 was taken out of service. In the mid-1970s, however, it was reopened on the road between Orivesi and Keuruu.
