Luleå is a northern Swedish city and the capital of Norrbotten County. With about 79,000 residents in Luleå Municipality, it is Sweden's 25th largest city and the largest in the county. Known for having the world's largest brackish water archipelago with 1,312 islands, Luleå also hosts Sweden's seventh biggest harbour. It has a prominent steel industry and strong research presence, including Luleå University of Technology, Sweden’s northernmost technology university. The city is home to the Swedish Air Force Norrbotten Wing (F 21) based near Luleå Airport.
History
The town's Royal charter was granted in 1621 by King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden. The original town was situated where Gammelstad (Old Town) is situated today. The town had to be moved in 1649 to the current site,5 due to the post-glacial rebound that had made the bay too shallow for ships to enter.
In 1805, Luleå only had 947 inhabitants, but in 1865 Luleå succeeded Piteå as the county town in Norrbotten county and now had around 1400 residents. In the 1860s the industries also started taking root in the city.
The town was plagued by fires in 1653, 1657 and 1887, and the fire in 1887 was a devastating fire that destroyed most of the town, sparing only a few buildings. The Neo-Gothic Cathedral (originally the Oscar Fredrik church), dedicated in 1893, standing at 67 meters (220 ft), is the tallest building in town.

Luleå is the home of several major innovations and technological milestones.6
- Broadcast radio: RDS, DAB,7 DARC (1992–1997)

- On 27 October 2011, Facebook announced it would locate its first data center outside of the United States in Luleå. The whole facility is made up by a set of three 28,000 m2 (300,000 sq ft) buildings. The first building was to be operational in 2012.8 The establishment will help turn the Luleå region into a major node for European data traffic. The town's northern location and that it will become a hub for data traffic in Europe has generated a new epithet for the Luleå region – The Node Pole.9 The Node Pole region provides stable, low-cost electricity that is 100-percent derived from renewable sources. In addition, they cite the benefits of low cooling expenses, given that the region is one of the coolest in Sweden. Sweden's long political stability is cited as another long-term benefit of the Node Pole's location.10
Climate
Luleå has a subarctic climate (Dfc) with short, mild to warm summers and long, cold, snowy winters.
Luleå's climate is influenced both by the North Atlantic and the proximity to the Gulf of Bothnia and it has milder climate than most of cities on the same latitude and even some that are further south in Canada, Alaska, Northeast China and Siberia. During the summer in June and July the temperature in Luleå can some days rise to around 30 °C (86 °F). Summers are very bright, with marginal twilight being the only exception during the summer solstice.
From September to March, northern lights can be seen if the sky is clear.11
