Encyclopedic overview
Uppvidinge Municipality (Swedish: Uppvidinge kommun) is a municipality in Kronoberg County, southern Sweden, with its seat in the town of Åseda.
The present municipality, which took its name from a hundred, was formed by the local government reform of 1971 when Lenhovda, Nottebäck, Åseda and Älghult were amalgamated. The number of original entities, as of 1863, is six. The first amalgamation in the area (Granhult merged with Nottebäck) took place already in 1915.
