One very important place in Härryda Municipality is Göteborg Landvetter Airport. This is Sweden's second-largest airport. It's located near the town of Härryda, which is where the municipality gets its name. The airport itself is named after Landvetter, which is the second biggest town in the municipality. Some airlines used to have their main offices right at the airport.
Härryda Municipality shares its borders with several other municipalities. If you look clockwise on a map, it borders Lerum, Bollebygd, Mark, Mölndal, Gothenburg, and Partille.
The municipality you see today was created in 1971. This happened when three smaller municipalities, Björketorp, Landvetter, and Råda, joined together. For a long time, until 2007, Härryda was the only municipality in Sweden that didn't have its own special coat of arms. Instead, it just used a logo. Now it has a proper coat of arms, which is a symbol representing the area.
