Encyclopedic overview
Forshaga Municipality (Swedish: Forshaga kommun) is a municipality in Värmland County in west central Sweden. Its seat is located in the town of Forshaga.
The first municipality named Forshaga was a market town (köping) which was detached from Grava in 1944. The local government reform of the 1970s made Forshaga a unitary municipality in 1971 and in 1974 Ullerud was added to it.
