Introduction to Santa Claus Village: Santa Claus Village in Finland was created by Finnish children's stories after Finland and the Soviet Union set the national boundary to the Arctic Ocean as the "Ear Mountain" in Lapland in 1927. The fairy tale of King Marcus began to spread. In 1995, United Nations Secretary-General Gary sent a holiday card to Santa Claus to Rovaniemi, and since then it has become the official hometown of Santa Claus.
