Almedal, Göteborg, Residential district in Gothenburg, Sweden

Almedal is an area of the Krokslätt district in Gothenburg, named after the Almedal country estate and its child Alma Buchholtz (1840–41). The name was first tied to a linen factory in Skår, and since 1933 Almedalsvägen and the Almedal tram stop have carried it.

Almedal takes its name from the country estate Almedal, named after Alma Buchholtz (1840–41), daughter of a former owner. In 1848 Hans Hemming Wesslau founded Almedahls Fabriks-aktiebolag, a linen factory at Skår, and the estate long belonged to the company. Since 1933 Gothenburg has had both Almedalsvägen and the Almedal tram stop.

The name Almedal comes from Alma Buchholtz (1840–41), daughter of an earlier owner of the Almedal country estate. The linen factory in Skår, likely the source of the area's name, was founded in 1848 by Hans Hemming Wesslau as Almedahls Fabriks-aktiebolag, which long owned the estate. Since 1933 the name has also marked Almedalsvägen and the Almedal tram stop.

Almedal lies in the Krokslätt district of Gothenburg and has had its own tram stop, Almedal, since 1933, served by trams running south from the city centre.
