The area is characterized by its rural landscape, typical of many southern Swedish regions, featuring forests and agricultural land. Historically, the name "Saltmyrs" likely derives from a combination of "salt" and "myr," referring to a bog or marsh that may have had saline properties, though the exact etymology is subject to local interpretation.
