Hultsfred Municipality

Hultsfred Municipality is a local government area in Kalmar County that comprises eight separate urban communities and has the town of Hultsfred as its administrative hub. These distinct areas are spread throughout the municipality and together form the overall jurisdiction.

The current Hultsfred Municipality was formed in 1971 through the merging of the market town of Hultsfred with neighboring municipalities. This restructuring unified administrative areas that had operated as separate entities since the 19th century.

The Virserum Furniture Industry Museum displays a replica of a 1920s furniture factory with working machinery driven by a traditional water wheel. Visitors can observe how furniture production once functioned in this region.

As a municipal center, the region offers various public services and facilities distributed across its different towns. Visitors will find the most resources by focusing on Hultsfred town as a base and exploring other areas from there.

The region contained two iron mines during the 17th and 18th centuries that contributed to the industrialization of Kalmar County. This mining heritage shaped the local economy and left lasting marks on the area's development.
