Jordbro
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jordbro is a suburban locality in Haninge Municipality, Stockholm County, southeast of Stockholm.
The suburb is separated in two by the Stockholm commuter rail. Route 73 (Nynäsvägen), passes just east of Jordbro and connects Stockholm and Nynäshamn.
East of the railway lies a housing area built as part of the Million Programme, in the 1960's and 1970's. The housing area is made up of blocks of flats, with single family homes to the north and to the south. Jordbro has a population of 9300 (as of 2005).
To the west of the housing area and the railway lies a relatively large industrial area, containing the main offices and production plant of The Coca-Cola Company in Sweden. Dagab, Lagena, Osram and Åhlens also have distribution warehouses in the industrial area.
Just to the south, between Jordbro and Västerhaninge is Jordbro gravfält, a burial ground, thought to have been used somewhere between 500 BC and 500 CE.
Jordbro has four schools, Kvarnbäcksskolan, Lundaskolan and Fredsduvan, which are lower primary schools with preschools, and Jordbromalmsskolan, which is an upper primary school.
