The Swedish provinces were subdivided into the Hundreds of Sweden, in effect until early 20th century.
In some provinces the sub-dividing was through districts. Dalarna had only one chartered hundred – the others were court districts.

Famous quotes containing the word districts:
“Cities need old buildings so badly it is probably impossible for vigorous streets and districts to grow without them.... for really new ideas of any kind—no matter how ultimately profitable or otherwise successful some of them might prove to be—there is no leeway for such chancy trial, error and experimentation in the high-overhead economy of new construction. Old ideas can sometimes use new buildings. New ideas must use old buildings.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
