history

The settlements in the area, also called Innanbäcken , on the right of the Kalixälven opposite Kalix, from which today's Rolfs emerged, were mentioned from the 16th century as smaller collections of farmhouses, from the 18th century with the still preserved mansions Grytnäs and Filipsborg. Around the turn of the 20th century, businesses such as the sawmill, which still exists today as Rolfs Såg , emerged . Today, Rolfs, with its larger industrial area, is the commercial and residential suburb of the Kalix community center.

Administratively, the place initially belonged to the parish of Nederkalix socken, from which the rural community of the same name (landskommun) emerged in 1862 . This was renamed rural community Kalix in 1967 and 1971 on the church today (kommun) reshuffled.
