Turtola (Finnish pronunciation: [ˈturtolɑ]) is a district in Tampere, Finland. It is located in the southeastern part of the city near the Tampere Ring Road, about five kilometers from the city center. Its neighboring parts of the city are Muotiala, Aakkula, Messukylä, Viiala and Korkinmäki. The Hervanta Highway runs through Turtola. One of Tampere's hypermarket centers is located in Turtola.Turtola, mentioned in the 1540 land register, was one of the houses of Messukylä – Messukylä's parish book village, which originally belonged to the parish of the Greater Pirkkala. However, a document dating back to 1465 mentions Olaff Twrdo as a representative of the Messukylä division. There is no complete certainty about the origin of the name Turto, but according to Professor Viljo Nissilä, the name Turto can be combined with the verb turtu and the adjective turta. Professor K. V. Kaukovalta also associates the Finnish adjective turta with the meaning 'heavy-hearted and serious'. The village name Tursola in Kangasala and Sahalahti may have the same root. The name Turto is also associated in some sources with the Swedish male given name Tord. Turtola became a rustholl in the 18th century and was divided into two parts, Turtola and Turtos, in 1773. The municipality of Messukylä was annexed to the city of Tampere at the beginning of 1947 and the first town plan of the Turtola district was approved in 1963.

Ristinarkku (Finnish pronunciation: [ˈristinˌɑrkːu]) is a district in Tampere, Finland. The district also includes the Janka's residential area. There are a school and several retail stores in the area. The area is close to the city center and has apartment buildings as well as townhouses. The Sampo Highway runs through Ristinarkku, and the district is bordered on the south by the Tampere–Haapamäki railway and on the east by the eastern part of the Tampere Ring Road (Highway 9). The neighboring parts of the city are Hakametsä, Huikas, Takahuhti, Pappila, Linnainmaa, Hankkio and Messukylä.The Ristinarkku area was the center of the village of Takahuhti, which belonged to Messukylä, where most of the village's houses were still built in the late 19th century as a dense group. The rest of the name Ristinarkku is most likely based on the word orko, which means a meadow or field cleared of drooping. Professor Viljo Nissilä has speculated that a surveyor who has not had local knowledge has written the word orko in what he thinks is a more understandable form of arkku (meaning "coffin"). Thus, the original name Ristinorko, which would have meant the field cleared next to the road junction and gradually also the junction, would have changed into Ristinarkku (literally meaning the "coffing of cross") with a similar phonetic status in the Finnish language. On the other hand, the word arkku is also ambiguous, as it can refer to, for example, a coffin or a bridge support. The roots of the name may date back to the 13th century, as the medieval settlement of Takahuhti had become a group village by the 14th century at the latest. The first town plan of Ristinarkku was confirmed in the 1950s.The name of the Vehnämyllynkatu street is based on the wheat mill located in Ristinarkku, built in the late 19th century. The mill was demolished in connection with the construction of a street bridge across the railway in 1957.
