History

Near Enkoping, there is some of the best preserved rock art from the Bronze Age present in central Sweden. The city of Enkoping itself dates its history back to the 13th century but the city itself did not emerge until about 1250. Enkoping was then as now situated by the rich farmlands close to lake Malaren, leading to a wealthy rural population. The city has also always been a major crossroads for commerce, and excellent communications signify the city even today: The Malar Railline (Malarbanan) and the E18 highway provide ample means of travelling to the nearby major cities of Stockholm and Vasteras. The city has several manufacturing industries, a hospital and the Swedish Armed Forces command and control an army electronic warfare centre Ledningsregementet (LedR).
