The area is located at coordinates 59.4109°N and 17.8001°E and includes distinct quarters such as Högby, Sandvik, and Andeboda.

The name Viksjö originates from a farm called Viksjö Gård documented in 1734, reflecting the area's early settlement history. Archaeological traces suggest an even older presence, as evidenced by an 11th-century rune stone found in the locality.
