Halikko (Finnish pronunciation: [ˈhɑlikːo]) is a former municipality of Finland that existed until December 31, 2008. On January 1, 2009 the municipality was merged with the larger neighboring Salo. Before the merge Halikko had become a rapidly urbanizing rural area.
It was located in the province of Western Finland and was part of the Southwest Finland region. The municipality had a population of 9,491 (2004-12-31) and covered an area of 357.31 km² (excluding sea) of which 0.52 km² was inland water. The population density was 26.60 inhabitants per km².
The municipality was unilingually Finnish.
Halikko (once called Rikala) was already in the Iron age an important trade and meeting place on the Finnish coast. E.g. the vikings sailed to the coast back then to trade. There are several Iron Age treasures found in Halikko.
Manors came to Halikko at the 12th century. First the Åminne Manor, then Vuorentaka and Wiurila. In the middle of 17th century church and state wanted to separate from each other in Finland and in the 1865 the minicipality of Halikko is formed. August Armfelt, the Graf of Wiurila was the first City manager.

This could get good
This could get crazy baby
This could get bad
Downright ugly honey
Way out of hand
Well its a full moon at half past 8
And the cowboys have just got paid
And some hilljack fan is on the stage
Turn it up
And the parking lot is nothing but
Mud and muck and pick-up trucks
And wild women that just wanna get fired up
Oh yeah

This could get crazy baby
This could get bad
Downright ugly honey
Way out of hand
Might make the morning grapevine
All over town
Dont wanna miss a single minute of it
Youll wanna stick around
This could get good (this could get good)
This could get good (this could get good)

And the fire marshal has come to cash
And drives off in his red Cadillac at show time mmm hmmm
But the lights come on
And the band kicks off
And their linin up rows of moonshine shots
Theyll be twirlin skirts on table tops in no time
And in no time
(This could get good)
This could get crazy baby
This could get bad
Downright ugly honey
Way out of hand
Might make the morning grapevine
All over town
Dont wanna miss a single minute of it
Youll wanna stick around
This could get good
