history

Until 2010, Jälluntofta was the seat of a parish ( församling , formerly socken ), which then became part of Unnaryds församling .

The name of the parish Jälluntofta was mentioned in a document from the Diocese of Linköping as early as the 13th century . The size of the parish, which is divided by the lake Jällunden, covers about 4000 hectares. In the seventies of the 19th century around 500 people lived in this area, today only about 50, so that the Jällunden area with less than 2 inhabitants per square kilometer is one of the most sparsely populated in southern Sweden.
