Övertorneå Municipality ((スウェーデン語:Övertorneå kommun), , (フィンランド語:Ylitornion kunta); sometimes also referred to as ''Matarengin kunta'' by northern Finnish press to avoid confusion with the similarly named Finnish municipality Ylitornio) is a municipality in Norrbotten County in northern Sweden, bordering Finland. Its seat is located in Övertorneå. Until the Finnish War (1808–1809) Övertorneå and the Finnish Ylitornio were a single municipality. Following the war, the eastern part of the municipality was ceded to Russia as a part of Finland. In 1870 a minor part of Övertorneå Municipality was split off, forming the rural municipality Korpilombolo (now part of Pajala Municipality). In 1969 Övertorneå and Hietaniemi municipalities were merged, forming the present municipality. Many places in the municipality have both a Swedish and a Finnish name, in the local dialect of Finnish known as Meänkieli, one of the minority languages of Sweden. ==Localities== There are four localities (or urban areas) in Övertorneå Municipality:〔(Statistics Sweden as of December 31, 2005 )〕 The municipal seat in bold 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Övertorneå Municipality」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
