Medelpadia comprises the southern part of Västernorrland County.
Sundsvall (1624) was the only chartered city of Medelpadia.
The province is a part of Norrland and as such considered to be Northern Sweden. Though, in a geographical sense the province is located in the middle of Sweden and this is reflected in the name Medelpadia.
As with other Swedish provinces the arms can be represented showing a dukal coronet. Blazon: "Four times parted per fess wavy, Azure, Argent, Gules, Argent and Azure."
