Mivö (even archaically called Miwey in Hallisian) is an island in Vittmark which is part of the state of Mivö and Skara. It is a subject of debate if Mivö still should be considered an island since it is connected to the mainland by the Grönmyr isthmus since the days of the Union of Skara. On the other hand, a canal has been dug through the isthmus from Skara to Emmyning so it is completely surrounded by water.
Mivö used to be a separate member state of Vittmark from 7564 to 7609, including Antonö island, when it merged with Skara and acquired a small part of Liden. The capital is Källbyholm, which is one of the newer coastal settlements on the island. The coastal cities all have historical roots going back several centuries with active port facilities for smaller industries and fishery. They are also attractive destinations for city dwellers from Skara, Kletudde and even Östervallen during longer weekends and (summer) holidays. Most of the island still is agricultural with high natural values and half cultivated hillside landscapes.
Historically speaking, Mivö has been part of the zones of influence of Skara and the state of Liden. It has been administered as a dependency but has functioned rather autonomously under the leadership of several generations of the House of Mivö. When Mivö became part of Vittmark the regional government was taken over by a democratically elected board with the Lord of Mivö only being responsible for the process of forming an executive state cabinet.
