Hjo Municipality, Lake municipality in Västra Götaland, Sweden

Hjo Municipality stretches along the western shore of Lake Vättern, encompassing 297 square kilometers of land and numerous water bodies.

The municipality formed in 1971 through the merger of Hjo City with Värsås rural district, followed by the addition of Fröjered and Fågelås regions in 1974.

The municipality received the Europa Nostra award in 1990 for maintaining its traditional wooden architecture and urban planning throughout its development.

The municipal offices operate from Monday to Friday between 7:30 AM and 4:00 PM, providing services to its 9,258 residents through telephone and email channels.

The Hjo River, which flows through the municipality into Lake Vättern, sustains natural populations of salmon and grayling within its protected nature reserve.
