history
Åkersberga has a relatively short history and owes its existence mainly to the establishment of the Södra Roslags Kustbana railway line and its proximity to Stockholm. In 1901 a train station was set up at Berga Manor . In order to avoid confusion with other places with the same name, the station was named Åkers Berga, as it was located in the former Åkers skeppslag administrative area. The current name developed from this later. Until shortly after the Second World War, the area around the station had grown into an urban settlement.
Since 2015, the previously independent towns of Hagbyhöjden and Norrö have been part of the Åkersberga crime scene, while Spånlöt in the east of the town has been spun off as a new crime scene.
traffic
Länsväg 276 runs through Åkersberga . With the L28 railway line, known as Roslagsbanan, which ends in the Österskär district, the place is connected to Stockholm's public transport network.
