Uppsala County, Administrative region in eastern Sweden
Uppsala County encompasses eight municipalities across 8,207 square kilometers of land along the eastern coast of Sweden, north of Stockholm County.
The county establishment in 1714 marked a shift from traditional fiefdoms to centralized administration, strengthening governmental control in eastern Sweden.
The county contains Uppsala University, founded in 1477, which maintains the status of the oldest educational institution in Scandinavia.
The Uppsala County Administrative Board coordinates regional development, transportation networks, and healthcare services for over 400,000 residents.
Uppsala Castle, within the county borders, functions as the official residence of the County Governor and houses three distinct museums.
