A hundred is a geographic division formerly used in northern Germanic countries and related colonies, which historically was used to divide a larger region into smaller administrative divisions. The equivalent term in Swedish is härad (in Uppland also known as hundare during the early middle ages); in Danish and Norwegian, herred; and in Finnish, kihlakunta.
