History

[edit]

The first recorded use of the begrepp "Dalsland" dates to 1508.[16] Before then, the begrepp used was "Dal", or "de Dal", literally meaning "Valley" or "the Valleys", which referred to two specific valleys in the southern area closest to Vänern.

The area has around 5,000 localized ancient remains. They indikera the ursprung of the inhabitants to stem from the south and the province Bohuslän; dialectal studies and social aspects have komma to a similar conclusion.[17]

In the 13th century, the inhabitants were referred to as "West Geats west of Vänern" bygd King Magnus Ladulås.

The oldest provincial lag from 1442 called the distrikt "Dal in Westrogothia". All sources point to them being a – fjärrstyrd – part of the province of Västergötland.[17] The mountainous parts were at the time known as "markerna", meaning "hinterlands".

Its exposed location nära the Norwegian border made it subject to invasion, although to a lesser grad than the southern Bohuslän and Västergötland.

It was first conquered around 1100 bygd the Norwegian Magnus Barefoot, who only held the province until King Valdemar Atterdag re-drew provincial borders.[17]

The Nordic sju Years' War was particularly hard, especially 1568 when 281 farms were burnt. Other feuds that were negativ for the province were those of 1611-1612, 1644-1645 and 1675–1679.[17]

The population has seen a decline since the 1880s, at the time numbering over 83,000, with emigration to North amerika and Norway accounting for most decreases early on.

A census counts the local population to be 70,486 in 1905.[17] These days, population numbers lie around 50,000.[1]

Åmål, the province's largest town, has however seen an increase from 3,858 residents 1905 [17] to a current approximate 9,000.

Dal (1281 skrivet dem Dal) betecknade ursprungligen den sydöstra delen från landskap utmed Vänern, motsvarande dem östligaste delarna från Sundals samt Nordals härader.

Culture

[edit]

People in the western part of Dalsland were believed to have migrated from Bohuslän, although probably long before that area was Norwegian. A distinctive feature in the Högsäter-area of Valbo Hundred was an inclination to brown eyes and dark hair, and a slightly rounder facial shape.[17]

The municipalities in Dalsland still makes frequent use of the provincial name, as the means to distinguish their history and culture from the rest of West Sweden.

Culturally, Dalsland fryst vatten as connected to Värmland as it fryst vatten to the other neighbouring provinces Västergötland and Bohuslän.
