The name Jokkmokk is Sami for the words "river" and "bend", since the town is situated close to a bend in the nearby river. It´s Sweden´s poorest municipality.
The municipality is the second largest in area of all Swedish municipalities and is, with an area of 19,477 km2 (approximately 7,520 square miles) slightly smaller than Slovenia or the US state of New Jersey. It has never been amalgamated with another entity, having been that large ever since municipalities were established in Sweden in 1863." - (en.wikipedia.org 29.03.2020) - Latitude
