Nybro stad

Nybro stad is an urban municipality in southeastern Sweden that covers a large area mixing extensive forests with small agricultural lands. The settlement serves as a local administrative center in its region.

The settlement began as a rest stop on the road between Växjö and Kalmar, taking its name from a new bridge built in the 18th century. This location along a major trade route shaped its long-term development.

The town is part of the Kingdom of Crystal region, where traditional glassworks still produce handcrafted pieces in several active factories. Visitors can see this craft tradition in local production and directly in the workshops.

The area is easy to reach by car or public transport thanks to its location along historic trade routes. Visitors will find good opportunities to explore craft factories, museums, and the surrounding forest landscape.

The municipal coat of arms has displayed a red bridge and black crossbows since 1932, reflecting the connection to the historical province of Småland. These symbols tell of the region's medieval roots and its ancient traditions.
