Munkedal Municipality, Municipal district in Västra Götaland County, Sweden
Munkedal Municipality spans 675 square kilometers of western Sweden, combining forests, mountains, lakes, and streams across eight distinct parishes.
The municipality formed during the 1952 Swedish reform, later expanding in 1974 through mergers with Svarteborg and Sörbygden administrative territories.
Archaeological findings at Herregårda reveal human presence dating to 8000 BC, while the Lökeberg på Tungenäset site contains Bronze Age petroglyphs.
The municipal offices provide education services, social support, and community activities for the 10,502 residents through both physical locations and digital platforms.
The name Munkedal originates from a farm owned by Dragsmark Abbey monks, with 'dal' referring to the valley where the settlement developed.
