    Nokia began in 1865 as a pulp mill located along the Nokia River in Finland for its hydropower production. It grew to include electricity generation and became the Nokia Corporation in 1967 after merging with other Finnish companies. Between 1967 and 2000, Nokia established itself as a global leader in mobile phone manufacturing, developing some of the first mobile phones and GSM networks. After 2000, Nokia continued releasing popular mobile phone models but faced increased competition from Apple and Android. It transitioned to using the Windows Phone platform before eventually selling its mobile phone business to Microsoft in 2014.
