Blekinge County, County administration region in southern Sweden
Blekinge County spans 3,039 square kilometers along the Baltic Sea coast, featuring five municipalities with Karlskrona serving as its administrative center.
The county established in 1683 changed from Danish to Swedish control following the Treaty of Roskilde in 1658, marking a significant territorial shift.
Maritime traditions shape the regional identity through naval installations, fishing communities, and coastal settlements across the municipalities of Karlskrona, Karlshamn, and Ronneby.
The Blekinge County Council manages healthcare services and public transportation networks for approximately 158,000 residents spread across five municipal districts.
The region maintains Sweden's primary naval base in Karlskrona, while reaching a maximum elevation of 95 meters above sea level throughout its territory.
