'''Partille Municipality''' ({{langx|sv|Partille kommun}}) is a [[municipalities of Sweden|municipality]] in [[Västra Götaland County]] in western [[Sweden]]. Its seat is located in '''Partille''', which constitutes a part of the contiguously built-up [[Gothenburg urban area]].

The municipality is by area one of the smallest in Sweden with only 59.35&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup>.

The [[parish]] Partille was made a rural municipality, when the first local government acts came into force in 1863. Territorially it has not been affected by the nationwide municipal reforms carried out during the 20th century. It has retained its area, but it has developed into a [[suburb]] of [[Gothenburg]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://partille.se/sv/Snabblankar/Sok/A-till-O/ |title=A-Ö Partille Kommun |author=Partille Kommun |date=12 August 2009 |language=sv |access-date=25 January 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110206035653/http://www.partille.se/sv/Snabblankar/Sok/A-till-O/ |archive-date=6 February 2011 }}</ref>

==History==
The area has been inhabited for more than a thousand years. Fifteen ancient monuments from that time remain.

Partille is located in a valley, between some mountains in a rocky terrain. Its name is believed to be derived from something similar to "Part haella" meaning "split rock". Another possible meaning could be "Port haella", the door in the mountain. The small river [[Säveån]] flows through the valley and intersects Partille. The name Säveån stems from the words ''säve'', as in ''sävligt'' (leisurely, slow) and ''ån'' (the stream/creek), as it is a very slowly flowing little river. The river has been of great importance for Partille throughout its history. The fertile soil around it was used for agriculture and during the medieval ages a lot of farms were located there.<ref name=idermark>Partille Kommun - Partille - Idermark and Lagerwall reklam - 2009 - 4.</ref>

The oldest existing building in Partille is [[Partille Kyrka]] ''(Partille Church)'' which was built in the 13th century. The church, being placed in the current centre of Partille, indicates that the present centre has been the natural rendezvous and centre of the municipality ever since it was built. Being a Swedish, very old-fashioned, Partille Kyrka has no bell tower, as a complement a separate belfry was built in 1652.<ref name=idermark/>

It is also an excellent place for [[fishing]]. Records from the 16th century show that government officials fished here at the time. As is still the case today, the most popular fish were [[salmon]] and [[trout]].<ref>{{ cite web |url=http://www.partille.se/Upptack-Partille/Se--gora/Fiske/ |title=Fiske - Partille Kommun |date=8 April 2009 |work=www.partille.se |publisher=Partille Kommun |language=sv |access-date=13 January 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100831004259/http://www.partille.se/Upptack-Partille/Se--gora/Fiske/ |archive-date=31 August 2010 }}</ref>

Apart from agriculture and forestry transportations has been a very important field of business. The manager of the [[East India Company]], [[David af Sanderberg]], built [[Partille Herrgård]] ''(manor)'' between 1770 and 1780, today this manor serves a landmark for everyone who passes through the municipality. Later, during the 19th century, Sweden's first industrial society developed in Jonsered. The Scotsmen [[William Gibson]] and [[Alexander Keiller (Gothenburg)|Alexander Keiller]] opened a factory for production of sail- and tent cloth.  Sweden's first terrace-houses in classical English style was also built there. Nowadays Jonsered is still classified as a national interest due to its well preserved cultural environment.<ref name=idermark/>

==Economy==
Industries which are based in Partille include: Soft Touch AB (Personal Protective Equipment), [[Triumfglass]] (ice cream), [[Swisslog Holding|Swisslog]], Ragn Sells.

Apart from Partille Manor, the main key feature of Partille is the shopping mall [[Allum]]. In 1999 Partille municipality initiated a cooperation with the construction company Sten & Ström Sverige. The aim of this co-operation was to unify the two parts of the municipality, each on the north/south of the highway [[European route E20|E20]].<ref>{{ cite web | url=http://allum.se/upload/Kj%C3%B8pesenter%20SE/Allum/pdf%20dokument/Allum_basfakta_2010.pdf |title=Allum - Informationsfolder | author=Sten & Ström Sweden |publisher=Sten & Ström Sweden |language=sv |access-date=18 January 2011 }}</ref> The construction of Allum began on 3 February 2004 and was completed on 9 April 2006. The name "Allum" comes from the old Swedish word for "alla" (everyone), the name thus mean "åt alla" (for everyone) or "till alla" (to everyone). The mall has created roughly 650 new jobs and includes around 100 stores.<ref>[[:sv:Allum]]</ref>

===Partille Cup===
The handball tournament [[Partille Cup]] was first launched in Partille in 1963, it was then played at Vallhamra Idrottsplats ''Vallhamra sports field''. As the tournament grew in size it was partially, and later entirely moved to [[Gothenburg]], where it is now played. Partille Cup is the world's greatest handball tournament for youths, in 2010 the tournament featured 1035 teams from 46 countries. The tournament is arranged annually during the first week of July by the Swedish handball club [[IK Sävehof]] from Partille.<ref>{{ cite web |url=http://www.partillecup.com/swe/index.php/fakta/ |title=Fakta < Partille Cup |author=Partille Cup |publisher=Partille Cup |language=sv |access-date=18 January 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110126100707/http://www.partillecup.com/swe/index.php/fakta |archive-date=26 January 2011 }}</ref>
