Halland, Province in western Sweden

Halland stretches along the western coast of Sweden, featuring sandy beaches, low rolling hills, and four major rivers flowing through its territory.

The territory belonged to Denmark until 1645 when Sweden acquired it through the Second Treaty of Bromsebro following military conquests by Charles X.

The region maintains six different municipalities, each contributing to local traditions through museums, art galleries, and historical architectural landmarks.

The province contains multiple manufacturing facilities specializing in brick production, tile making, and engineering work, supporting the local industrial sector.

Gekås Ullared, located in the village of Ullared, stands as the largest discount superstore in the region, attracting millions of customers each year.
