A Short History of \u00d6smo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u00d6smo has a long history, especially as the center for the local parish. The current settlement has grown around the local parish church. A church that was inaugurated as early as the 12th century. The parish itself dates back to the Middle Ages and was mentioned in written sources as early as 1281. The spelling of the name has since changed from \u00d8zmo<\/em> to what it is today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For centuries, a few large farms dominated the life around \u00d6smo. The most prominent of these was Vansta and names from its past owners can today be found as street names in the locality. At the time, the settlement around the church mostly consisted of the central administration, such as the school and the poorhouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not even the opening of the railway between Stockholm and Nyn\u00e4shamn, with a station in \u00d6smo, increased the development in the small settlement. It was first at the end of the 1940s that the urbanization of \u00d6smo began. The main development came in the 1950s and 60s with the move of the naval base in Stockholm to the island of Musk\u00f6 in the nearby archipelago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
