Geographically Kronoberg County represents the heartland of the province of Småland. It received its present borders in 1687 when Jönköping County was separated.

The seat of residence for the Governor or Landshövding is Växjö. The Governor is the head of the County Administrative Board or Länsstyrelsen. The County Administrative Board is nominally a Government Agency headed by a Governor. The current Governor is Lars-Åke Lagrell, who is most famous for also being President of the Swedish Football Association. See List of Kronoberg Governors.

Main article: Municipalities of Kronoberg

Note that all the municipalities have names after their seats except Uppvidinge, where the seat is located in the small town Åseda.

Kronoberg was formally granted its arms in 1944, however use of the same was already an established practice. It is a variation of the arms of Småland. Blazon: "Or, a lion rampant Gules langued and armed Azure holding in front paws a Crossbow of the second bowed and stringed Sable with a bolt Argent, standing on a tripple Mount Vert."
