Encyclopedic overview
Storuman Municipality (Swedish: Storumans kommun; Southern Sami: Luspie tjïelte; Ume Sami: Lusspie kommuvnna) is a municipality in Västerbotten County in northern Sweden. Its seat is located in Storuman.
The parish Stensele was created as late as 1822. It was, together with the parish Tärna, made into a municipality in 1863. In 1903 Tärna was detached to form a municipality of its own. The local government reform of 1971 saw the reunification of Stensele and Tärnaby municipalities, thus forming Storuman Municipality with the name taken from its largest town.
