Byske

Byske lies on the Gulf of Bothnia coast of northern Sweden, where the Byske River reaches the sea. The place has medieval roots, and in the fourteenth century its salmon fishery was already valued: the Ångermanland magnate Gudlav Bilder left his fishing rights in the Byske River in his will. The settlement stayed a farming village along the river, and its households depended on farming and fishing.
