Malmo is the capital and largest city of the Swedish county of Scania. Malmo is the third largest city in Sweden, after Stockholm and Gothenburg, and the fifth largest city in Scandinavia, with a population of above 300,000. The Malmo Metropolitan Region is home to 700,000 people, and the resund Region, which includes Malmo, is home to 3.9million people.

Malmo was one of the earliest and most industrialized towns of Scandinavia, but it struggled with the adaptation to post-industrialism. Since the construction of the resund Bridge, Malmo has undergone a major transformation with architectural developments, and it has attracted new biotech and IT companies, and particularly students through Malmo University, founded in 1998. The city contains many historic buildings and parks, and is also a commercial centre for the western part of Scania.

The earliest written mention of Malmo as a city dates from 1275. It is thought to have been founded shortly before that date, as a fortified quay or ferry berth of the Archbishop of Lund, some to the north-east. Malmo was for centuries Denmark's second-biggest city. Its original name was "Malmhaug" (with alternate spellings), meaning "Gravel pile" or "Ore Hill".

In the 15th century, Malmo became one of Denmark's largest and most frequented cities, reaching a population of approximately 5,000 inhabitants. It became the most important city around the resund, with the German Hanseatic League frequenting it as a marketplace, and was notable for its flourishing herring fishery. In 1437, King Eric of Pomerania (King of Denmark from 13961439) granted the city's arms: argent with a griffin gules, based on Eric's arms from Pomerania. The griffin's head as a symbol of Malmo extended to the entire province of Scania from 1660.
