Västerbotten County, sometimes called Westrobothnia, is a county or län in the north of Sweden. It shares borders with 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 is also the most populous city in Northern Sweden, and the second most populous city is Skellefteå. These two municipalities, both of which are located in the eastern coastal region, make up more than two thirds of Västerbotten's population. The interior of Västerbotten County is sparsely populated, and has vast wilderness areas. The land area of Västerbotten is larger than that of Denmark, the Netherlands or Switzerland.
