'''Lomma Municipality''' ({{langx|sv|Lomma kommun}}) is a [[Municipalities of Sweden|municipality]] in [[Skåne County]] in southern [[Sweden]], about 10&nbsp;km north of [[Malmö]]. Its seat is located in [[Lomma]] with secondary locality [[Bjärred]] being of almost equal population size.

The present municipality was created through the amalgamation of the market town ''Lomma'' and the rural municipality ''Flädie''. It took place in 1963, between the two nationwide local government reforms of 1952 and 1971.

==Geography==
[[Image:lomma harbour.jpg|thumb|left|The harbour in Lomma]]
The small municipality borders to [[Kävlinge Municipality]], [[Burlöv Municipality]], [[Staffanstorp Municipality]] and [[Lund Municipality]]. As Burlöv also is notably small, Lomma Municipality almost borders to [[Malmö Municipality]] too.

It is situated by [[Öresund]], at the inlet of the small river [[Höje å]]. Along the river lies a yacht marina. In the old industrial area along the river new appartements and villas are erected, with some facing the river or the beach. The beaches along its coasts also attract visitors from other municipalities; Lomma Municipality's beaches are the principal beaches for people from the beach-less [[Lund]].

{{Convert|10|km}} to the north-east is the university city of [[Lund]], with some 80,000 inhabitants, about the same distance as to [[Malmö]] (with its 285,000 inhabitants) to the south. Lomma Municipality is also considered part of [[Metropolitan Malmö]], showing itself for instance by the 6,500 [[commuting|commuters]] that live in there. Travelling to and from Lomma Municipality is easy, as a main highway actually passes straight through the town of [[Lomma]], connecting with [[Lund]] and [[Malmö]], and with other cities to the north.

Geologically, its terrain is almost completely flat levelled, which is the custom for south-western [[Skåne]] as a whole. The highest location in Lomma Municipality is {{Convert|40|m}} above sea level.

===Localities===
There were three [[Urban areas in Sweden|localities]] in the municipality as of 2018.

==History==
The area where Lomma Municipality is now is located between two small rivers, and was inhabited by hunters in the [[Stone Age]]. The name ''Lomma'' can be traced to 1085, and in the ensuing centuries it established some wealth thanks to merchancy with the episcopal see in [[Lund]].

[[Image:Lomma kyrka från söder.jpg|right|thumb|Lomma church]]
Nonetheless, the area was only a village until [[Sweden]]'s first [[cement]] works was established in 1871. The ground consists of a certain clay stemming from the [[Last glacial period|last ice age]], and is available in large quantities in Lomma Municipality. A fully fledged industry was started in the 1860s, and by the end of the century Lomma Municipality had five brick factories. The bricks from Lomma are yellow of appearance and were regarded as the highest kind of bricks during that century. One church built with those bricks is the church in [[Lomma]], (''Lomma kyrka''), a large [[neo Gothic]] church that was finished in the 1870s.

The coat of arms depicts an [[anchor]] - showing the importance of the harbour - and a brick wall, indicating that Lomma Municipality once actually had city rights as well as its brick industry.
