Småland Halal Travel Guide

Småland is a very hilly province, with deep forests, abundance of lakes but with poor and rocky soils. Except for the Baltic coastline, Småland has a continental climate with warm summers and cold winters. Its northern and western parts contain highlands, and have a climate which is more similar to that of northern Sweden than its surroundings.

Due to its hostile territory Småland was not united like other Swedish provinces, but was rather divided into several minor political units collectively known as the small lands, and hence the name Småland. When incorporated into Sweden and they were merged into one province.

Until the 17th century Småland was a border province between Sweden and Denmark, and the stage for several wars and civil uprisings. Småland's poor soils have forced waves of emigration, not least during the 19th century, when many inhabitants left for North America. During the 19th century the Free Church movement grew strong in Småland, especially in the area surrounding Jönköping, giving it the nickname "The Swedish Bible belt". In modern times, Småland is known for entrepreneurship, with glass manufacturing as well as the world-famous furniture retailer, IKEA.

The stereotype of the Småland people being frugal, hard-working and pious has to some extent been formed by writers such as Astrid Lindgren (see also Astrid Lindgren tourism) and Vilhelm Moberg.
