[edit] History
The regiment has its origins in fänikor and fanor raised in the 1500s, these units formed Östgöta infanteriregemente and Östgöta kavalleriregemente which merged in 1791 and formed Livgrenadjärregementet. This regiment was split in 1816 creating Andra livgrenadjärregementet and Första livgrenadjärregementet.
The regiment was allotted in 1687. It was given the designation I 5 (5th Infantry Regiment) after a general order in 1816. The regiment was merged with Första livgrenadjärregementet in 1928 and thus reformed Livgrenadjärregementet.
