Lomma Municipality

Lomma Municipality is a coastal community stretching along the Öresund coast in Skåne, organized around several settlements of varying sizes. The area is anchored by Lomma and Bjärred as its main towns, with Alnarp hosting a major agricultural university campus and other smaller neighborhoods completing the municipality's composition.

The area was first documented in 1085 under the name Lumaby, functioning as a crucial customs and trading port at the mouth of the Höje å river. This early role as a commercial hub influenced the region's development over the centuries.

The Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences campus in Alnarp serves as a regional hub for learning and research activities. The presence of this institution shapes how the community connects with farming knowledge and sustainable land practices.

A modern train station opened in 2020 that connects the municipality to Malmö in about 7 minutes, providing easy regional access. An extensive bus network complements rail services and links the various neighborhoods and neighboring municipalities together.

The municipality is home to Sweden's first cement factory, established in 1871 and powered by limestone sourced from the nearby island of Saltholm for Portland cement production. This early industrial venture shaped the region's economic trajectory and remains a notable chapter in its past.
