Haparanda, Border town in Norrbotten County, Sweden
Haparanda stands at the easternmost point of Sweden along the Torne River, forming a joint community with the Finnish town of Tornio.
The town gained prominence in 1842 after receiving its city charter, following Sweden's loss of Finnish territories to Russia in 1809.
The population of Haparanda maintains a strong bilingual identity, with Swedish and Finnish languages integrated into daily life and education.
The regional transport network includes a railway station reopened in 2021 and bus connections to major destinations across northern Sweden.
Haparanda operates in two time zones simultaneously, as its Finnish twin city Tornio follows Eastern European Time, one hour ahead.
