The Tolkien Society of Sweden (original name in English) was the first Tolkien Society in Europe, founded in 1968 in Gothenburg. At first only named "The Tolkien Society", "of Sweden" was added when The Tolkien Society was founded in the United Kingdom in 1969.
Although The Tolkien Society of Sweden no longer exists as such, several Tolkien Societies exist in Sweden today (see Tolkien Societies).
