Sävsjö Municipality

Sävsjö Municipality is an administrative area in Jönköping County in central Sweden, encompassing several smaller towns and villages spread across the region. The landscape is a mix of forests, lakes, and farmland that characterizes the rural setting and local way of life.

The municipality took its current form in 1971 when several former rural districts were consolidated into one administrative unit. This reorganization was part of broader changes in Swedish municipal governance during that period.

The municipality's coat of arms displays a divided shield with the upper field in gold featuring three battlements, connecting to the Sture family's Ekesjö estate.

The area is well connected by rail, with the Southern Main Line passing through and offering connections to other parts of Sweden. Visitors should know that this is a rural region where a car is helpful for exploring the different towns and villages.

The area plays an outsized role in Swedish chemical manufacturing and food production despite its small size. These industries shape daily life in the towns and are central to the local economy and identity.
