Nokia started out in 1865 as a paper pulp mill in Finland.
Why it is true
The engineer Fredrik Idestam opened the mill by a river, and the name came from the town of Nokia, where it later moved. During the 20th century the company made rubber boots, tyres and cables before becoming the world's biggest mobile phone maker.
