Henric and Eskill, the Early Iso-Ropos
The earliest known individual from the Iso-Ropo farm is Henric Ropo, who appears in the land records from 1540 to 1552. Eskill Larsson Ropoi appears between 1553 and 1571.
Escil Michelsson and descendants
The next known owners of the farm were Escil Michelsson and Walborg Ericsdotter until 1644, after which the farm was held by their descendants:
- 1645-1685 son Thomas Escilsson Iso-Ropo (Tuomas Eskonpoika Ropo) with wives Margareta and Brita
- 1686-1697 son Eric Thomasson Iso-Ropo and wife Lisa
- 1698-1704 son Jacob Ericsson Iso-Ropo and wife Walborg
- 1709-1731 daughter Anna Jacobsdotter Iso-Ropo and husband Anders Johansson
- 1733-1769 son Henric Andersson Iso-Ropo and wife Maria Nikkilä, the daughter of Jöran Nikkilä from Sarkola village
- 1770-1781 son Henric Henricsson Iso-Ropo with wives Walborg Jacobsdotter and Anna Mattsdotter Pirjola
From 1664 until 1828 the farm served as academy farm, providing funds for the administration of the Royal Academy of Finland in taxes.
Eventually the farm was split into two equal halves, with Iso-Ropo remaining as the name of one, the other one being called Keski-Ropo. The farms were took over by
Little Iso-Ropo
The farm was held by the same family even after the split:
- Jöran Henricsson Iso-Ropo and Anna Henricsdotter Hannula
- Anna's second husband Anders Jacobsson Vähä-Hisso
- Henric Jöransson Iso-Ropo, wives Anna Mattsdotter Kauppila and Anna Andersdotter Piipari
- Anders Henricsson Iso-Ropo and Maria Andersdotter Jysiä
Keski-Ropo
The Keski-Ropo half was mastered by
- Jacob Henricsson Iso-Ropo with wives Maria Ericsdotter and Maria Carlsdotter Skyttä
- Anders Jacobsson Keski-Ropo and Anna Henricsdotter Vähätalo
- Anders Andersson Keski-Ropo and Lena Lovisa Jacobsdotter Ollinpoika
- Carl Andersson Keski-Ropo and Caisa Lisa Carlsdotter Tarkka
The Keski-Ropo farm had three crofts established between 1886 and 1890. The Mäenpää croft was merged into the farm in 1901. The other two, Järvenpää and Rantala, were merged together and formed the Rantala farm in 1909.
