The first issue of Tamperelainen was published on September 19, 1957. The cover of the first issue contained stories about the author Väinö Linna and the state of the Pyynikki's pines. On the inside were a horoscope compiled by Hymy Lahtinen, a marriage section, a special column on jazz music and the Lääkärin sana doctor column. Other stories told about the actor Eero Roine, the architecture from Tampere and the trip to New York.

When the magazine was distributed to every home, many thought it was a sample issue for a new magazine to subscribe to. Urpo Lahtinen, the magazine's editor-in-chief and later publisher and owner of Lehtimiehet Oy, was able to reassure readers that the magazine's entry is indeed free. It was rumored in the city that the author Väinö Linna, who appeared on the cover of the next issue, would be behind the existence of the magazine.
