Kalmar County, Administrative county in southeastern Sweden
Kalmar County spans across 11,694 square kilometers of mainland and islands, including the island of Öland, with borders along the Baltic Sea coast.
The county establishment dates back to 1634 when Sweden reorganized its administrative divisions, marking a significant change in regional governance structures.
The municipalities of Kalmar County maintain traditional Swedish practices through local festivals, crafts, and agricultural methods passed down through generations.
The region connects to neighboring counties through an extensive network of roads, with the E22 highway serving as the primary transportation route.
The county contains the Stora Alvaret, a limestone plain on Öland with rare plant species and archaeological remains from prehistoric settlements.
