A Look Back in Time
The idea of municipalities, which are like local government areas, started in Sweden in 1863. Nordmaling Municipality was created back then from an older area called a parish.
Later, in 1914, a small part of Nordmaling Municipality became its own separate area. Even with some changes to how Sweden organized its areas in 1952 and 1971, Nordmaling Municipality stayed the same.
