'''Sveadal''' is a private summer resort in an unincorporated area of Llagas-Uvas in Santa Clara County, California. The Swedish American cultural heritage and recreation center is situated west of Morgan Hill, California in the eastern Santa Cruz Mountains, adjacent to Uvas Canyon County Park. Since its founding in 1926, it has been owned and operated by the Swedish American Patriotic League, a congress of local organizations, dedicated to promoting and perpetuating common Swedish-American heritage in the San Francisco Bay Area. It has been visited by three generations of Swedish royalty, since 1927 when then Crown Prince (and later King) Gustav VI Adolf of Sweden and his wife dedicated Sveadal in 1927.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.swedishcouncil.org/affiliate/swedish-american-patriotic-league/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131103060918/http://www.swedishcouncil.org/affiliate/swedish-american-patriotic-league/ |url-status=usurped |archive-date=November 3, 2013 |title=Swedish American Patriotic League |publisher=Swedish Council of America |accessdate=October 10, 2015}}</ref>
