The nation, intended for students from the provinces of Dalarna and Västmanland – these provinces making up most of the diocese of Västerås – was founded in 1639. The first inspektor of the nation was Olof Rudbeck the Elder, appointed in 1663. The current inspektor (as of 2021^[update]) is Johan Tysk, professor, Department of Mathematics, Uppsala University.
