Karesuando (Finnish: Kaaresuvanto or Karesuvanto; Sami: Karesuanto, Gárasavvon or Karasavvon) is the northernmost locality in [[Country:Sweden|Sweden]]. It is situated in [[Municipality: Kiruna|Kiruna]] Municipality, [[Region:Norrbotten|Norrbotten]] County, Sweden, with 303 inhabitants in 2010 and 350 in 2011.
It is a church village, located alongside the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muonio_(river) Muonio River] on the border with [[Country:Finland|Finland]].
The Finnish village of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karesuvanto Karesuvanto] (population about 140) is located on the Finnish side of the river. According to Finnish tradition, they are one and the same village (with a combined population of about 470), but are usually considered to be separate villages since there is a national border between them (although both are called Karesuvanto in Finnish).
The village's buildings were built in 1670, when Måns Mårtensson Karesuando, called "Hyvä Maunu Martinpoika" in Finnish and "Good Maunu, Son of Martin" in English, bought land from Sami Henrik Nilsson Nikkas. The Lutheran vicar and botanist [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lars_Levi_Laestadius Lars Levi Laestadius] served in Karesuando from 1826 to 1849. It was here that he founded the revivalist movement known to this day as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laestadianism Laestadianism].
The area is traditionally Finnish speaking, and the border was drawn for political reasons in 1809, not because of any cultural or any other border existing at that time. There was not even a parish border, so [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karesuando_Church Karesuando Church] was built because the older church was on the Finnish side. School and church influences have since resulted in cultural and linguistic differences.
Karesuando is located along the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_route_E45 European route E45], and is the northern terminus of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_national_road_99Swedish national road 99].
