History[edit | edit source]

The parish was created in 1831 from Luleå (Nederluleå). The parish of Edefors was created from Överluleå in 1884. Between 1919-1966 the church records (vital record keeping) was divided between Överluleå and Boden although without official decision.

Överluleå parish was broken out in 1831 from Luleå county parish (which at the same time changed its name to Nederluleå parish).

From Överluleå parish, Edefors parish was broken out in 1890 and Sävast parish in 1998.

Överluleå parish constituted its own pastorate until 1993. In 1994, the parish became the mother parish in a joint pastorate with Gunnarsbyn parish. The pastorate was expanded in 1998 with Sävast parish.

Överluleå parish and Gunnarsbyn parish formed the church community of Överluleå-Gunnarsbyn parishes in 1977. In 1989, the name was changed to Boden's church community. From 1998, Sävast's parish is also part of the community. The church community forms its own archive. The communities' archives include salary information and accounts. Parts of the community's documents are also recorded in the Överluleå church archives.

In 1816, a decision had been made to establish a chapel law within Luleå parish, called Heden. However, the decision was never implemented. Överluleå parish came to partly correspond to the previously decided chapel team.

Boden's village became a municipal society in 1899 and a city from 1919. In municipal terms, the city formed its own municipality, but the church division did not change. Överluleå parish also included the city of Boden. However, the city formed its own school district.

From around 1920, Överluleå parish kept special church books for the city of Boden. They are listed in the same series as the parish's other church books.

Some villages and farms have had different parish affiliations: - Alternäs, which was later included in Råneå, is included in Överluleå household examination books A I: 1a and A I: 2b - Junkoträsk, which was later included in Råneå, is recorded in Överluleå household examination book A I: 1a - Lappmotjärn, which was later included in Råneå, is recorded in Överluleå household examination book A I: 1a - Selet, which was later counted as Nederluleå, is recorded in Överluleå household examination book A I: 1a
