Terjärv is located in the province of Western Finland and is part of the Ostrobothnia region. The ex-municipality has a population of about 2,400.
The former municipality is bilingual, with a large majority Swedish-speaking and the minority Finnish. Being 43 kilometres (27 mi) by air from port city Jakobstad at the nearest coastline,[6] the village is among the further inland settlements of Swedish-speaking Finland. The minor village of Vistbacka within the district is even further inland at 54 kilometres (34 mi) from Jakobstad,[7] which makes it the furthest inland settlement where Swedish is the dominant language. Terjärv is known as 'The Pearl Of Ostrobothnia' for the exceptionally nice nature for the region, with rolling hills and numerous lakes along the river running through Terjärv.
Kokkola-Pietarsaari Airport is located in Kronoby close to Terjärv.
