Medelpad, Historical province in northeastern Sweden
Medelpad spans 7,058 square kilometers between the Ljungan and Indalsälven rivers, featuring dense forests, mountains, and numerous lakes across the territory.
Archaeological discoveries indicate Medelpad was among the first inhabited regions in Norrland, with artifacts dating back to the Stone and Bronze ages.
The province maintains Swedish traditions through festivals, folk music performances, and local handicrafts that represent the regional heritage of northern Sweden.
Three municipalities form Medelpad: Sundsvall, Timrå, and Ånge, with Sundsvall serving as the main urban center housing approximately 50,000 residents.
The mountain hare represents Medelpad as its provincial animal, while the Skvader, a mythical creature, received recognition in a 1987 local referendum.
