The district of Myllypuro was named after a small mill that stood next to an outlet ditch from the fields of Viikki. In the 1950s, Myllypuro was still a mostly undeveloped district with forests and rocky areas. In the 1960s, as the population of the Helsinki Metropolitan Area grew, apartment buildings began to be built in Myllypuro. The Myllypuro metro station was opened in 1986. The journey from Myllypuro to Helsinki Central Station takes only 16 minutes. The Lumo homes in Myllypuro are located close to the metro station, ensuring excellent transport links to the city centre.

There is also a lot of new construction going on in Myllypuro. Metropolia University of Applied Sciences opened its new Myllypuro campus in 2019 and it is now used by 6,000 students. The Myllypuro shopping centre was also fully renovated at the turn of the 2010s. In the 2020s, Myllypuro will also see the construction of an entirely new residential neighbourhood called Karhukallio. Karhukallio translates to bear rock, and the street names in the new neighbourhood – such as Karhuemontie and Karhunpojankuja – will reflect the bear theme.
