 Hundred (country subdivision) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The name is derived from the number one hundred and it may in some areas once have referred to a hundred men under arms—in England, however, it was that amount of land sufficient to sustain one hundred families.
In England a hundred was the division of a shire for administrative, military and judicial purposes under the common law[1].
Hundred boundaries were independent of both parish and county boundaries, although often aligned, meaning that a hundred could be split between counties (usually only a fraction), or a parish could be split between hundreds.

It is fair to claim that Sweden's current wealth was more or less founded on iron and steel, and in particular mining of iron ore and manufacturing of quality steel.
Sweden's large supply of timber allowed a steady supply of wooden coal, which enabled small foundries to produce top class steel in small batches.
Although hundreds of mines have been closed the last centuries, and today's annual output is less than the 40MT peak in 1975, the overall "health" of the industry is now on top.
