This article is about the Swedish historical province. For the modern county, see

Historical province in Norrland, Sweden
Västerbotten (Swedish: [ˈvɛ̂sːtɛrˌbɔtːɛn] ⓘ West Bothnia or Westrobothnia , is a province (landskap ) in the north of Sweden , bordering Angermannia , Lapland , North Bothnia , and the Gulf of Bothnia . It is known for the Westrobothnian cheese , (Västerbottensost) named after the province.[citation needed
Administration [ edit ]
The traditional provinces of Sweden serve no administrative or political purposes, but are historical and cultural entities. The administrative county , Västerbottens län ("County of Westrobothnia"), consists of the province and the southern part of Swedish Lappland .[citation needed
Heraldry [ edit ]
On 18 January 1884, all provinces gained the rights to the rank of duchy, and the arms can be represented with a ducal coronet. Blazon : "Azure Seme of Mullets Or a Reindeer in full course and hoofed Gules."[citation needed
Geography [ edit ]
Westrobothnia was historically divided into chartered cities and districts.[citation needed

History [ edit ]
Westrobothnia's old borders which extended into present-day Finland
Up until the Finnish War 1808–1809, and the Treaty of Fredrikshamn , the province of Westrobothnia also included a small portion of the extreme north of current Finland . This part has later been integrated in Lapland, Finland . The Österbotten, Eastern Botten or Ostrobothnia , lay on the Finnish side of the sea, and this province name still survives.
Following the Fredrikshamn treaty, which re-defined the outlines and orientation of Sweden, in 1810, Västerbotten County was split in two parts. The northern portion became Norrbottens län ("County of North Bothnia") , and the Swedish-speaking locals of North Bothnia (which in itself is a multi-lingual area) soon began referring to themselves as Northbothnians. The county borders thus gradually led to a local provincial identity. Nowadays North Bothnia is considered a separate province, even though provinces had ceased to have any administrative or legal significance hundreds of years before 1810.
Westrobothnia's Regiment was the provincial regiment.[citation needed
Dukes of Westrobothnia [ edit ]
Since the 13th century, Swedish princes in some dynasties have been created dukes of various provinces. Since 1772, these are only nominal titles.
