Dalarna County
Dalarna County, or
Dalarnas län is a
County or
län in middle
Sweden. It borders to the counties of
Jämtland,
Gävleborg,
Västmanland,
Örebro and
Värmland. It is also bounded by the
Norwegian counties of
Hedmark and
Sør-Trøndelag in the east.
The term Dalarna County is mainly used for administrative purposes, being further subdivided into
municipalities (kommuner). Dalarna County virtually encompasses the historical province
Dalecarlia (or
Dalarna), that deals with history and culture of the area.
Dalarna County was known as Kopparberg County, or
Kopparbergs län, until
1997. Kopparberg literally means
Copper Mountain.
The main aim of the
County Administrative Board is to fulfil the goals set in national politics by the
Parliament and the
Government, to coordinate the interests and promote the development of the county, to establish regional goals and safeguard the due process of law in the handling of each case. The County Administrative Board is nominally a
Government Agency headed by a Governor. See
List of Dalarna Governors.

County Council of Dalarna or
