Haparanda (Finnish: Haaparanta, meaning aspen beach) is a locality and the seat of Haparanda Municipality in Norrbotten County, Sweden. It is adjacent to Tornio, Finland. Haparanda had a population of 4,856 in 2010, of out of a municipal total of 10,200 inhabitants.
Haparanda is, despite its small population, for historical reasons often still referred to as a city. Statistics Sweden, however, only counts localities with more than 10,000 inhabitants as cities. Haparanda is located at the northerly extreme of the Swedish coastline, and far removed from large cities. Its summers are very mild for a coastal location so far north, and winters are normally not extremely cold in spite of the relative proximity to the Arctic Circle.
The municipality itself, on the other hand, uses the term Haparanda stad (City of Haparanda) not only for the town itself, but for its whole territory (927 km2 or 358 sq mi). At 24° 8' E, Haparanda is Sweden's easternmost settlement.
When Sweden ceded Finland to Russia in 1809, the border was drawn along the Rivers Tornio and Muonio. The town of Tornio, located on the island Suensaari in the river delta became part of the Grand Duchy of Finland within the Russian Empire as demanded by czar Alexander I. (Finland declared independence in 1917).

Ur Måsens loggbok, den 11 juni 2001: "Jag kommer till hamnen i Nikkala och får skjuts ut med Solbritt Innala. Hon är på väg till Mats med kaffe och smörgåsar. Tio fiskebåtar ligger i en klunga nära Seskaröbron och vaktar några laxfällor. Kustbevakningens båt avvaktar en bit ut. Stämningen är spänd. En fiskare körde nyss fram till kustbevakningsbåten och ville gå ombord och prata med befälhavaren. När fiskaren tog tag i relingen trampade en av kustbevakarna honom på fingrarna och sade till honom att försvinna därifrån. Läs hela artikeln under: www.bottenviken.se/haparanda/

Scandic Grand Central is the perfect name for this hotel. It's a hub, like a train station and like the best grand old stations it has that faded glamour that people are so attracted to. In this case, however, it’s a very funky kind of faded glamour. The hotel has become a meeting point in Stockholm; so much so that people these days queue outside in the morning waiting for the cafe to open. Guest rooms are minimal in terms of design but done in a very Scandinavian way that nonetheless makes them cosy and filled with daylight. Situated in the heart of Stockholm's centre, all the city's landmarks, such as the Concert Hall - with its modernist sculptures and fountain - are only five minutes walk away. For the visitor it's a city that offers many rewarding places to visit and lots of thi...

You were taken from me
Rest in peace
Well of grief
Please let me sleep
Join me now
We could be
One forever
Lasting eternity
What could have been
To the lord on high
My inner moods
Searing pain inside
Cling to the cross
Hammer at the stone
We will be one
