Encyclopedic overview
Värnamo Municipality (Swedish: Värnamo kommun) is a municipality in Jönköping County in southern Sweden, where the town Värnamo is seat.
The municipality was created in 1971, when the City of Värnamo (itself instituted in 1920) was amalgamated with the surrounding rural municipalities to form an entity of unitary type. There are fourteen original units making up the present municipality.
