Encyclopedic overview
Counties before 1997.
Skåne County (Swedish: Skåne län, pronounced [ˈskôːnɛ ˈlɛːn]), sometimes referred to as Scania County or just Scania (/ˈskeɪniə/ SKAY-nee-ə) in English, is the southernmost county, or län, of Sweden, mostly corresponding to the traditional province of Scania. It borders the counties of Halland, Kronoberg and Blekinge and connects to Capital Region, Denmark by the Öresund Bridge across the Øresund strait. The seat of residence for the Skåne Governor is the city of Malmö. The headquarters of Skåne Regional Council are located in both Kristianstad and Malmö.
