Öland County, or Ölands län, was a County of Sweden, between 1819 and 1826. It consisted of the island of Öland, designating the historical Province of Öland as its own county. A Governor resided briefly at Borgholm, but the island is today part of Kalmar County. Some important historical sites in Oland County are: Borgholm Castle, Halltorps Estate, Eketorp fortress and the Gettlinge Gravefield. Much of Oland County's present day landscape known as the Stora Alvaret has been designated as a World Heritage Site.
