History

Åkersberga has a relatively short history and owes its origin mainly to the establishment of the railway line Södra Roslags Kustbana and close to Stockholm. 1901 a railway station was established at the farm Berga. To avoid confusion with other places of the same name, the station was called " Åkers Berga " because it was located in the former management zone " Åkers skeppslag ". Later it developed from it the present name. Until shortly after the Second World War, the area around the station had grown into an urban settlement.
