In the writings the village is mentioned in the 15th century, but the village was probably already in the 12th-13th century. Century inhabited, like other villages in Lumparland. In the northwest, Svinö borders Krogstad Bay. There was once a strait from which you could go directly to Västerfjärdet. In the 15th century there was sometimes a bridge over the strait.

In Svinö, there was no new church, and it was assumed that this was due to the protests of the population of Lumparland, as they themselves would have had a longer journey to church.

Kökar is a scenically beautiful island with a hotel, restaurants, a guest harbor, a folklore museum and a very convenient self-service shop open 24 hours a day. It has 223 inhabitants, of whom about 95 percent are Swedish-speaking, and an area of 63.94 square kilometers, of which 0.39 square kilometers are inland waters. As in all of Åland, Swedish is the official language. In the far south of the Åland Islands lies the Kökar archipelago, which consists of a larger island surrounded by thousands of smaller islands. The main island has about 250 inhabitants and has been inhabited for about 3000 years. The first inhabitants were probably seal hunters. Kökar's waters have always been rich in fish and where there are fish, there are seals. For hundreds of years, fishing has been the most important industry. Locals sailed to the fish markets in Stockholm and Turku to sell their catch and exchange it for needed goods. People here have always been self-sufficient. Kökar is also known for the Franciscan monastery that stood here in the Middle Ages. Today, Franciscan Days are held every year in July to celebrate the saint. https://www.aland.travel/kokar-attractions Located on the FERRY Södra Line | Southern Line | Southern Line GALTBY ▸ KÖKAR ▸ KYRKOGÅRDSÖ ▸ HUSÖ ▸ SOTTUNGA ▸ FÖGLÖ (ÖVERÖ) ▸ LÅNGNÄS aland.travel/sodra-linjen-fi
