Falkenberg Municipality

Falkenberg Municipality is an administrative division in Halland County that combines coastal areas along the Kattegat Sea with inland rural and agricultural zones. The territory includes several urban areas and villages connected by regional transportation networks.

The municipality was formed in 1971 when Falkenberg city merged with six surrounding rural municipalities into a single administrative unit. This reorganization shaped the region's modern development and governance structure.

The municipality maintains Swedish traditions through local festivals and community gatherings throughout the year. These events help residents and visitors connect with regional customs and ways of life.

The municipality is served by regular bus services that connect its various urban areas and settlements throughout the region. These public transportation options help residents and visitors move between different parts of the territory.

The Gekås shopping center in Ullared attracts millions of shoppers annually and functions as one of the region's major retail destinations. The facility has grown into a significant economic driver with hundreds of employees serving customers year-round.
