'''Upplands-Bro Municipality''' ({{langx|sv|Upplands-Bro kommun}}) is a [[municipalities of Sweden|municipality]] in [[Stockholm County]] in east central [[Sweden]]. Its seat is located in the town of [[Kungsängen]].

The municipality was formed in 1952 through the amalgamation of five rural municipalities in [[Uppsala County]]. In 1971 it was transferred to [[Stockholm County]].

== Geography ==
Situated by [[Mälaren|Lake Mälaren]] it is distinguished by its nature. The overwhelming majority of the population are located to one of the three towns [[Kungsängen]] (pop. 7,500), [[Bro, Stockholm|Bro]] (6,200) and [[Brunna]] (4,000), and most of the remaining area is taken up by countryside, a substantial part of it being [[agricultural]].

== History ==
As apparent from its [[coat of arms]], Upplands-Bro takes pride in its pre-historic history, and boasts some of the oldest ancient remains in Sweden. From the [[Iron Age]], about 4,000 burial places have been found, and the remains from the [[Viking Age]] include 20 [[runestone]]s. The figure in the coat of arms comes from one of these remains, a 3 cm tall bronze figure found near Kungsängen.

Every one of the six [[parish]]es also hosts a [[Middle Ages|medieval]] church, built between 1100 and 1400.

In the 15th century, the fortress [[Almarestäket]] was built in the municipality, just east to the present location of Kungsängen. It was the seat of the [[Archbishop of Uppsala|Swedish archbishop]] until the Archbishop [[Gustav Trolle]] besieged himself there in 1517, leading to the demolition of the fortress in 1519. The ruins can still be visited.

Since 1970, the main base of the combined [[cavalry]]/[[infantry]] regiment [[Life Guards (Sweden)|Life Guards]] is located in Upplands-Bro. The regiment trains [[Conscription|conscript]] [[Company (military unit)|companies]] of [[mechanized infantry]], [[Royal Guards (Sweden)|Royal Guards]] and [[military police]]. It is also the home of the Swedish Armed Forces International Centre (Swedint).

== Public transportation ==
The municipality is served by the [[public transport in Stockholm|Stockholm public transport system]] operated by [[Storstockholms Lokaltrafik|SL]]. The municipal seat [[Kungsängen]] used to be the north-western terminus of the [[Stockholm commuter rail]] network, but in 2000 this line was extended to [[Bålsta]] in [[Uppsala County]] and a new station was built in [[Bro, Stockholm|Bro]]. A new depot for commuter trains has recently been built in the municipality. There is also a bus network.
