Robertsfors Municipality, Northern administrative municipality in Västerbotten County, Sweden
Robertsfors Municipality covers a broad area in northern Västerbotten and connects several settlement zones. The administrative center and surrounding localities form an integrated municipal region with farmland and water bodies throughout the terrain.
The name Robertsfors comes from an ironworks founded in 1759 that shaped the region's early development. This industrial venture became the foundation around which the later municipality grew and organized itself.
The three main towns - Robertsfors, Ånäset, and Bygdeå - shape daily life and community identity in the region. Each place hosts local gatherings and traditions that reflect how residents connect with their surroundings and one another.
Exploring the municipality works best with your own transport, as the towns are spread across the region. Visitors should expect open countryside and moderate travel times between the main localities.
Located within Ånäset, a village of the municipality, stands the world's largest cheese slicer. This surprising attraction draws curious visitors who discover this unexpected oddity during their travels through the region.
