Uddevalla, Port city in Västra Götaland County, Sweden.

The municipality extends over 733 square kilometers of land and water areas along the southeastern shores of Skagerrak, containing numerous beaches and natural harbors.

Established as a trading post before receiving town privileges in 1498, Uddevalla alternated between Norwegian and Swedish control until permanent Swedish acquisition in 1660.

The Uddevalla Gymnasieskola, with 4,000 students, functions as an educational center that shapes the intellectual development of young people in western Sweden.

The municipal website provides comprehensive information about public services, employment opportunities, and community initiatives for the 57,045 residents of Uddevalla.

The coastline features one of the world's largest shell banks, containing extensive deposits of seashells that document marine geological history.
