Halland Province belongs to Halland County.In a rebellion in 1434, the Falkenberg fortress burned down, and Lagaholm was captured by the Swedes two years later. Halland was transferred to Sweden for about 30 years in 1645. The last battle of the Scanian War took place in Halland at Fyllebro on 17 August 1676. In the 19th century, farming developed quickly, but erosion and blown sand created problems for the agriculture. Therefore, the county saw much emigration into the 20th century.
