Norrland estate in Bjärtrå, Ångermanland, Sweden.

Nordlander is a Swedish family originating from Norrland, Bjärtrå, Ångermanland, Sweden, through Daniel Persson (1683–1763), whose sons Erik (1723–1782) and Nils (1726–1775) assumed the family name in accordance with that of the estate and its village.^[1][2][3]

History

Daniel Persson moved to the Norrland estate from his former residence at the Crown land estate (Swedish: Kungsgård) of Bjärtrå, a power house in Ångermanland until Härnösand was founded in 1585.

In adjacent to the estate lies the ruins of a medieval fortification or manor house, dated to the early 15th century with dendrochronology, which probably served as a regional military defense position and for housing military personnel. The residence of the Vogt, the regional Bailiff of Ã…ngermanland, is believed to have been located on the same estate as the present building.^[4]
