5th century B.C.
a thracian settlement
continuously populated since then
Evan Cooper
Like most ancient cities, the exact date is hard to find. Some sources say a settlement existed in the 6th century BC, before Biturges migrated there and named the city Burdigala in the IIIrd century

Oulu is about 413 years old, though it burned down about 196 years ago.
en.wikipedia.org
Oulu was founded on 8 April 1605 by King Charles IX of Sweden, opposite the fort built on the island of Linnansaari. This took place after favourable peace settlements with Russia, which removed the threat of attack via the main east-west waterway, the river Oulu.[citation needed] The surrounding areas were populated much earlier. Oulu is situated by the Gulf of Bothnia, at the mouth of river Oulujoki, which is an ancient trading site. Oulu was the capital of the Province of Oulu from 1776 to 2009.
In 1822, a major fire destroyed much of the city.[citation needed] The architect Carl Ludvig Engel, chiefly known for the neoclassical (empire style) buildings around Helsinki Senate Square, was enlisted to provide the plan for the rebuilding of the city. With minor changes, this plan remains the basis for the layout of Oulu's town center. The Oulu Cathedral was built in 1832 to his designs, with the spire being finished in 1844. During the Crimean War, Oulu's harbour was raided by the British fleet, destroying ships and burning tar houses, leading to international criticism.[citation needed]
Once known for wood tar and salmon, Oulu has evolved into a major high-tech centre, particularly in IT and wellness technology. Other prominent industries include wood refining, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, paper, and steel.[citation needed]
The municipality of Ylikiiminki was merged with the city of Oulu on 1 January 2009. Oulu and the municipalities of Haukipudas, Kiiminki, Oulunsalo, and Yli-Ii were merged on 1 January 2013.[9]

First mentioned 871 years ago, but settled by Slavs probably ~1000 years ago, as Kremlin hill was built over by XI century already. Though in Tsaritsyno palatial park archeologists unearthed Fatianovo culture towns, that would predate Slavs splitting from Proto-Balto-Slavic continuity, the towns would be like over 4400 years old.
Moscow is huge enough to have a couple dozen ancient towns beneath it, and trice that size villaged.
My ancestral village was ~600 years old, founded by Tatar immigrants/mercenaries into Lithuania. The city I grew close to was 1100 years old (Minsk).

First written mention in 1450, but aparently archeological findings show that the area was inhabited since stone age. Too bad it got burned down by three town-wide fires around 1900. It was so bad only a few buildings were left standing.

People have been settled here since the Iron Age, but there was only about 50 people living here in the 1800's, and then it became a real town.
