e/Laponia (historical province)

Information
has gloss	eng: Laponia , was a historical Swedish province, or landskap, in the north of Sweden which evolved from Lappmarken. In 1809 the eastern part was ceded by Russia, which in effect created a Swedish Lapland and Finnish Lapland. Today, the Swedish part serves no administrative purpose, but the Finnish still does as the Province and Region of Lapland. The present-day Finnish Lapland contains areas outside of the historical Laponia.
