The municipality is unilingually [[Finnish language\|Finnish]]. ~~The main road route through the region is route 62, which connects to [[Mikkeli]] to the north and [[Imatra]] to the south.~~ The main road route through the region is route 62, which connects to [[Mikkeli]] to the north and [[Imatra]] to the south. Until the year 1995 a [[cable ferry]] connected the two sides of Puumalansalmi-strait. In 1995, a {{convert\|781\|m\|ft\|adj=mid\|-long}} bridge replaced the ferry. The bridge is a very dominant structure when looking Puumala town center from a distance. Puumala has relatively good services compared to the amount of population. In the town center is situated a post office, an [[Alko]] store, a kiosk, several supermarkets and a few restaurants. The reason for the survival of these entrepreneurs is the arrival of summer inhabitants who triple the population of Puumala during the season. In ~~history~~June ~~it is remembered for being the site of a staged attack on~~1788, Swedish soldiers~~, by men~~ wearing ~~Russian military~~ uniforms, ~~but not actually serving in~~of the [[Imperial Russian Army]], onstaged 27an ~~June~~attack ~~1788~~against the town. This would allow [[Gustav III\|King Gustav III]] to declare a defensive [[Russo-Swedish War (~~1788-1790~~1788–1790)\|war]] against the [[Russian Empire]], as Swedish law prohibited starting offensive wars without approval by the [[Riksdag]]. The subject of Puumala's [[coat of arms]] refers to the local history: in the [[Treaty of Åbo]] in 1743, Puumala became a border parish, but due to its strategic ___location, the narrow Puumalansalmi has been the scene of several battles since the 16th century, which the flaming [[Shell (projectile)\|bombshells]] on the coat of arms refer to. The coat of arms was designed by Tapio Vallioja, and the Puumala municipal council approved it at its meeting on September 24, 1962. The [[Ministry of the Interior (Finland)\|Ministry of the Interior]] approved the coat of arms for use on April 18, 1963.<ref>{{cite book \|title=Suomen kunnallisvaakunat \|publisher=Suomen Kunnallisliitto \|year=1982 \|page=157 \|isbn=951-773-085-3 \|language=fi}}</ref><ref>{{cite web \|title=Sisäasiainministeriön vahvistamat kaupunkien, kauppaloiden ja kuntien vaakunat I:12 Puumala \|url=http://digi.narc.fi/digi/view.ka?kuid=10281631 \|publisher=Kansallisarkiston digitaaliarkisto \|access-date=July 27, 2022 \|language=fi}}</ref> The [[Puumala virus]] is named after this place as it was first isolated from samples from the Puumala area.
