Vuollerim

Vuollerim (Swedish pronunciation: [vʉˈɔ̌lːɛrɪm]) (Lule Sami: Vuolleriebme)[2] is a village (tätort)situated in Jokkmokk Municipality, Norrbotten County, in northern Sweden with 623 inhabitants in 2020, declining from 732 inhabitants in 2010.

[3] Vuollerim is located at the confluence of the Lilla and Stora Lule Rivers.

It is located by national road 97, which leads to Jokkmokk in the northwest and Boden in the southeast.

Vuollerimbopladsen, a prehistoric settlement site three kilometers northwest of the town, bears witness to the fact that the place has been inhabited since the Stone Age.

[5][6] Not until the construction of the Porsi hydroelectric power plant in 1956–61, however, would the population increased significantly.
