history
Together with Neiden , which is now in Norway , Näätämö originally formed the westernmost Skolt- Sami Siida .
The originally contiguous settlement was officially divided in 1852. This demarcation between Sweden-Norway on the one hand and the Grand Duchy of Finland on the other handicapped the cross-border reindeer herding and fishing and made the traditional economy of the local population partially impossible.
