The area surrounding Koljud is characterized by flat agricultural landscapes and wetlands. The town's economy is primarily based on agriculture, with many residents working as farmers or in related industries. Additionally, some residents commute to nearby Malmö for employment.

Koljud has a relatively small town center, with a few shops, restaurants, and services available to residents. The town does not have a railway station, but is accessible by bus. A highway runs through the area, providing easy access to nearby cities and towns.

The name "Koljud" is derived from the Old Norse words "kalla" and "jud," which roughly translate to "cold" and "judgment" or "laws." This name is likely a reference to the town's location in a cold and rather remote area.

Historically, Koljud was an important center for the production of wood and timber. The town's scenic wetlands and forests made it an ideal location for logging and woodworking. However, as the demand for wood decreased, the town's economy began to shift towards agriculture.

Today, Koljud remains a small and close-knit community, with a strong sense of local identity and tradition. The town's residents take pride in their cultural heritage and work to preserve the area's unique natural surroundings.
