History of the 1st Upplands Regemente:
The Upplands Regemente was a Swedish army regiment that can trace its lineage back to the 16th century. The regiment has its origins in companies raised in Uppland in the 1550s and 1560s. In 1617, these units were organised by Gustav II Adolf into Upplands storregemente, of which eight of the total 24 companies were recruited in Uppland. Upplands storregemente consisted of three field regiments, of which Upplands regemente was one. Sometime around 1623, the grand regiment was permanently split into 3 smaller regiments, of which Upplands regemente was one.
The regiment was officially raised in 1626 although it had existed since 1623. Upplands regemente was one of the original 20 Swedish infantry regiments mentioned in the Swedish constitution of 1634. The regiment's first commander was Nils Brahe. It was allotted in 1682 as one of the first regiments to be so.
