Have you ever wondered what it is like to live in a municipality that is so small, it is almost as if it doesn’t exist? Burlövs kommun, located north of Malmö, is a place where the boundaries of geography blur. This is the second smallest municipality by area in the whole of Sweden. This municipality is actually a tiny pocket of land with just over 19 square kilometers. The population of Burlövs kommun is relatively small with about 18,000 people. But despite its size, Burlövs kommun is a vibrant community with a rich history and a vital role in the economy of the region. Burlövs kommun has no forests, lakes, or streams, but it does have an abundance of high-voltage power grids, highways, and railroads. These highways and railroads connect Burlövs kommun not only to the nearby city of Malmö but also to the rest of Sweden. A big factor in this area’s economy is agriculture. Burlövs kommun is one of the few municipalities in Sweden that still contains only the original municipal entity created from the old parish in 1863.
