During the early 1990s there was a tourist boom in
Lapland. The tourism company Polartrio wanted to create a holiday village in Kittilä. Polartrio employed Esko Sääskilahti as the construction manager for the project. Sääskilahti designed the pond as the central point of the village, and performed the necessary measurements and marked the contours of the lake on the terrain. Neitokainen was then filled by groundwater. However, by the time the lake was constructed, the tourism industry faced a recession and the village was never completed. == References ==
