Arvidsjaur Municipality

Arvidsjaur Municipality spans over 6,126 square kilometers of land and water, containing three main urban areas: Arvidsjaur, Glommersträsk, and Moskosel.

European farmers established settlements in the region during the 14th and 15th centuries, developing trade networks focused on fur and skin commerce.

The municipality maintains strong connections to Sami heritage, with multiple Sami villages and a reindeer symbol featured on the official coat of arms.

The municipality offers extensive support services and resources for entrepreneurs, creating opportunities for business development in a less competitive environment.

Located 110 kilometers south of the Arctic Circle, the municipality derives its name from Sami language, meaning generous water.
