Skellefteå, lying between the Skellefteälv and the Gulf of Bothnia, is mentioned in the records as a trading town in 1621, but received its municipal charter only in 1845. In 1912 the railroad reached the town, and this, combined with the expansion of the Boliden gold mines, led to rapid development in the 1920s. The incorporation of neighboring settlements, some of them as much as 20km/12.5mi away, has contributed to giving the town its present population of 74,000.
