Tranemo Municipality ({{langx|sv|Tranemo kommun}}) is a municipality in Västra Götaland County in western Sweden. Its seat is located in the town of Tranemo.
There are twelve original municipal units (as of 1863) in the area. The municipal reform of 1952 created four larger entities. The next reform was implemented in two steps with amalgamations taking place in 1967 and 1974, leading to the present municipality.
The name comes from the bird Trana, which means crane.
The coat of arms, granted in 1975, show a crane with a glass blowing belge. Glass blowing is an old industry in the municipality, with the first glass blower established in 1741.
Controversies
In 2021, Tranemo Municipality hired a poet to create one poem a week about Tranemo Municipality for 1 year. The project drew heavy criticism because of its cost – nearly 1 million Swedish crowns (SEK). This happened at the same time when municipality demanded 17 million SEK in cost savings from the municipal schools.{{cite web | last=Nyheter | first=SVT | title=Kommunpoeten ett år efter stormen: ”Projektets överlevnad stod på spel” | website=SVT Nyheter | date=2022-12-10 | url=https://www.svt.se/kultur/kommupoeten-efter-drevet-projektets-overlevnad-stod-pa-spel | language=sv | access-date=2023-12-13}}{{cite web | title=Nära 900 000 kronor på kommunpoesi är felsatsade pengar | website=Borås Tidning | date=2021-05-19 | url=https://www.bt.se/ledare/900-000-kronor-pa-kommunpoesi-ar-felsatsade-pengar-03487a0e/ | language=sv | access-date=2023-12-13}}{{cite web | last=Ronnemo | first=Veronica | title=Tranemo kommuns egna kommunpoet – Sveriges första?! | website=Tranemo Kommun | url=https://www.tranemo.se/2021/10/tranemo-kommuns-egna-kommunpoet-sveriges-forsta/ | language=sv | access-date=2023-12-13}}{{cite web | title=Kommunpoet får 900 000 – starka reaktioner: ”Rimligt” | website=Expressen| date=2021-10-19 | url=https://www.expressen.se/gt/kommunpoet-far-900-000-for-att-dikta-om-tranemo/ | language=sv | access-date=2023-12-13}}{{cite web | last=Samuelsson | first=Amanda | last2=Wennerholm | first2=Paul | title=Hatades och hånades – för sitt jobb som kommunpoet | website=Göteborgs-Posten | date=2022-12-01 | url=https://www.gp.se/boras/jimmy-alm-om-omtumlande-aret-som-forsta-kommunpoeten.b439bb1f-3b76-4a6a-8326-b21593b581ea | language=sv | access-date=2023-12-13}}
