The 'table__history' is a comprehensive and informative dataset that originates from the 'Tilastokeskus' website in Finland. This history table is part of the larger dataset collection and serves as a version history of its base table rows. It contains the detailed history of municipalities in 2019 at a scale of 1:4 500 000. It has preserved the entire transition of municipalities, tracking changes over time. Each row in the table represents a unique timestamp of the data extraction, presented by the '_start_date' and '_row_number' columns. These two columns together form a unique identifier for each row in the table. The '_end_date' column indicates when a new version of the row was extracted, with a null value signifying the most recent version.

The dataset contains several columns providing geospatial data, which are prefixed with 'geom_'. These columns store detailed geographical information which can be analyzed for geospatial analytics. This includes geographical coordinates presented in the WGS 84 coordinate reference system, with longitude preceding latitude.

The table has a rich set of columns providing detailed information about each municipality, such as its name and unique identifier. The data can be leveraged for various data analytics tasks. For instance, the historical data could be used to study the changes in the geographical boundaries of municipalities over time. The geospatial data can be used to visualize the geographical distribution of municipalities, revealing patterns and trends that could inform urban planning or environmental studies. Further, the table's historical data can be useful in time-series analyses to forecast future changes. Overall, the 'table__history' serves as a valuable resource for data-driven decision-making related to Finland's municipalities.
