Jönköping County, Administrative division in southern Sweden
Jönköping County is an administrative region in southern Sweden's Götaland area, stretching from Lake Vättern through the forested landscape of Småland. The territory comprises thirteen municipalities with diverse geography ranging from lakeside areas to wooded highlands.
The county was established in 1687 as an independent administrative unit after separating from Kronoberg. Jönköping city developed as the regional center and has shaped the county's identity since then.
The region has deep roots in evangelical Christianity, which shapes everyday life and community practices. This religious tradition remains visible in local architecture and social structures throughout the area.
Visitors can explore the region using good road connections linking the municipalities across the territory. Summer offers the most favorable conditions for travel and sightseeing throughout the area.
The region is known for its extensive forests that supply timber to local manufacturing industries. Three major rivers—Emån, Lagan, and Nissan—flow through the territory and shape its natural character.
