Encyclopedic overview
Lessebo Municipality (Swedish: Lessebo kommun) is a municipality in eastern Kronoberg County in southern Sweden, where the town Lessebo is seat.
The nationwide local government reform of 1971 saw the creation of the present municipality, when three surrounding municipalities were amalgamated with the market town (köping) of Lessebo (itself instituted in 1939)
