history
Lagan originally consisted of the settlements Åby, Prästtorp and Alt-Åby, which had settled around a textile factory. The place continued to develop after the railway and the power station on the Lagan River were added. The church of Lagan is called "Berga Kyrka". It is located a little north of Åby and is the central church of the Berga parish. In 1279, Bishop Henrik (Bishop of Linköping) received the privilege of building a town in Berga from King Magnus Ladulås . This document is the oldest surviving "Stadsprivilegbrev" in Sweden. The town charter was never revoked, but the town was never built, as Bishop Henrik died a few years after the town charter was granted.
