Karlskoga, Sweden, is comparable in size to Wheaton. It is situated in the central part of Sweden, in the scenic province of Varmland, on Lake Mockeln. It is not far from Lake Vanern, Sweden's largest lake and the third largest in Europe. This part of Sweden abounds in forests, mountains, lakes and valleys. Outdoor sports such as hiking, boating, fishing, cycling, camping, swimming and skiing are very popular.
Wheaton and Karlskoga became sister cities in 1973. People of Swedish descent form the second largest national group in Wheaton. The Sister City Commission in Wheaton attempts to maintain friendly ties with Karlskoga and to promote cultural exchange between the two communities.
