context_page_description: Lycksele Municipality is a municipality in Västerbotten County in northern Sweden. Its seat is located in Lycksele.
  The municipality traces its history to Lycksele parish, which was in effect during the 19th century with very similar borders and size. The whole rural municipality Lycksele became a market town in 1929 and city in 1946. In 1971 it was amalgamated with Örträsk Municipality.
  Generally the northern municipalities, already sparsely populated, have population decreases, but various supporting projects also exist. For instance, a campus of Umeå University is situated here.
