Åsele Municipality, Municipal territory in southern Lapland, Sweden
Description
Åsele Municipality is an administrative area in southern Lapland in Västerbotten County. The territory spans extensive landscapes with natural features and various water bodies.
History
The first Swedish settlement began in 1674 when Nils Andersson and his wife Brita arrived from Finland. From that time, the area developed into a community in Gafsele.
Culture
This place has long served as a meeting point for people of different backgrounds. Sami, settlers, merchants, and officials gathered here to conduct trade and handle various matters.
