History
Kodisjoki was first mentioned in 1504 as a part of the Laitila parish. Its name is derived from a dialectal word kodiksin/kodismaa referring to a garden or a small field next to a house. The name of Kodjala in Laitila has a similar etymology. Kodisjoki became a separate municipality in 1896, but due to its small size, it was still ecclesiastically subordinate to Laitila.
Kodisjoki was consolidated with the town of Rauma in 2007.
