Skaraborg County

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Skaraborg County, or Skaraborgs län, was a county of Sweden until December 31, 1998 when it was merged with the counties of Gothenburg and Bohus and Älvsborg to form the county of Västra Götaland. The county was named after a fortress (in Swedish borg) outside the city of Skara, the seat of residence for the county governor was Mariestad, and the largest city was Skövde. The county consisted or the northern part of the province of Västergötland.

Even though Skaraborg county itself no longer exists, various organizations are still (in 2006) named after it, and cover that approximate area. These include several newspapers, one public radio channel (P4 Skaraborg) and various non-profit organizations.
