Nässjö stad

Nässjö is an urban municipality in Småland province that encompasses forests, lakes, and scattered settlements across a varied landscape. The main town center serves as the administrative hub while the wider area retains a mix of forest and open land typical of the region.

The settlement became a major transport junction after a railway was built in 1864, and it gained city status in 1914. This growth transformed it into a regional center for trade and administration.

The municipality maintains international relationships through sister city connections with Brønderslev in Denmark and Eidsberg in Norway since the 1940s.

The town center is easily walkable and contains most local services and shops within a compact area. Visitors will find it straightforward to navigate and not overwhelming in scale.

The area developed as a center for furniture manufacturing, especially known for producing Windsor chairs from local forest resources. This craft tradition shaped the region's economic character for generations.
