VASA, or NIKOLAISTAD , in the grand duchy of
Finland

capital
  of the province of Vasa, on the
east
 
coast
  of the Gulf of Bothnia, 327 M. by

primary
  schools. There is a shipyard and a considerable export
trade
 . Vasa was founded on the
coast
  of the Gulf of Bothnia in 16o6, but after the
great
  fire of 1852, as the sea had already receded for a considerable distance, the town was rebuilt nearer to the shore and received the official name of Nikolaistad. The
population
  of the province (1904) was 295,187.
