The regiment has its origins in fänikor (companies) raised in Östergötland in the 16th century. These units later 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. The regiment was given the designation I 5 (5th Infantry Regiment) in a general order in 1816. Andra livgrenadjärregementet was then merged with Första livgrenadjärregementet in 1928 to reform the old Livgrenadjärregementet.
