Hylte Municipality

Hylte Municipality is an administrative district in Halland County that covers a mixed landscape of forests and waterways in central Sweden. The area contains several small towns and villages connected by rural roads, with Hyltebruk serving as the main town.

The municipality was created in its present form in 1974 when several smaller administrative units merged together. This reorganization combined various local communities under a single administrative structure.

Hyltebruk functions as the heart of community life, where the area's industrial past remains visible in its buildings and layout. The town reflects how people have adapted the landscape for work and living across generations.

The main administrative center is located in Hyltebruk, where visitors can find public services and local information. Exploring the municipality is best done by car since the towns are spread across rural areas.

The municipality sits between two historical provinces, Halland and Småland, and is the only inland municipality in the Halland region. This location has shaped local life and communities across generations.
