Encyclopedia > Jokkmokk Lapland Court District

Jokkmokk Lapland Court District, or Jokkmokk lappmarks tingslag, was a district of Laponia in Sweden. The provinces in Norrland were never divided into hundreds and instead the court district (tingslag) served as the basic division of rural areas. The court districts of Laponia held the special designation as Lapland court districts (lappmarks tingslag).

The historical province of Laponia is divided between the Swedish Norrbotten County, in the north, Västerbotten County, in the south and the northern part of the Finnish administrative Lapland Province in the east.
The division into a Swedish western part and a Finnish eastern part was caused when Sweden was forced to cede all of Finland and eastern Norrland to Russia in 1809.
Lapland is also used as a name, not only for the historical province in Sweden and Finland, but for the entire region, spanning across northern Norway, Sweden, Finland and into Russia, where the Sami people have their homelands.
