history

At the beginning of the 19th century, where the district is today, there were some day laborers' farms ( torp ) along the overland route leading to the south, which were known as Sandhusen . In 1878 a certain Maria ( Mia for short ) Hallberg bought the land here because she saw the potential value of the site based on the profitable use of the adjacent area called Raus plantering (later Planteringen) by the entrepreneur Nils Persson and others. In 1899 she had a plan drawn up for the division of the entire area. In 1911, the urban planning engineer Sigfrid Ewald created a development plan for Planteringen with non-linear streets and squares. This plan was not widely heard when planning for Plateringen. On the other hand, he went into a good part in the plans for Miatorp. A large part of the initial development consists of simple middle-class villas, most of which have a square floor plan and high pitched or mansard roofs and whose facades are either plastered or made of bricks . Multi-family houses were added in the 1940s to 1960s.

Due to the expansion of the port, the access from Miatorp to the Øresund was blocked more and more over time; however, the beach at Råå can be reached quickly on foot.
