Västerbotten County is a county or län in the north of Sweden. It borders the counties of Västernorrland, Jämtland, and Norrbotten, as well as the Norwegian county of Nordland and the Gulf of Bothnia. Its capital is Umeå, which combined with the largest town in the northern part Skellefteå house about half of the population, with the two municipalities themselves making up the majority of the populace. The county's vast wilderness areas mean that Västerbotten County has a larger land area than Denmark, the Netherlands and Switzerland.
