In 1860 Liljeholmen became the first suburb outside
Stockholm city limits. The district was then one of two self-governing villages within the
Brännkyrka rural district (the other was
Örby), until 1913, when it was incorporated into Stockholm. During the
1912 Summer Olympics, it hosted parts of the
cycling and
equestrian events.[1]
Economy and transportation
Liljeholmen contains industries and offices in
Årstadal, apartments in
Nybohov and
Nyboda and
Lake Trekanten. New residential areas are being built around the central square, former industrial areas near
Årstaviken, and at
Marievik as a part of several projects to enlarge the inner core of Stockholm. Metro lines 13 and 14 stop at
Liljeholmen Metro station and there are 3 tram stops for
Tvärbanan in the district: Årstadal, Liljeholmen and Trekanten.
