In compliance with the Constitution in 1634, the kingdom was organized into counties (called Län in Swedish.) At this time each province (called [[Provinces of Sweden|Landskap]]) turned over its civil authority to the county administration. The administrative activities in the counties have basically been in force since about 1810. For further reading about the history of the counties see [[History of Swedish Counties|History of Swedish Counties]].
