Jonsered

Built around the waterpower of the Säveån, Jonsered grew into an industrial community. In 1833, Scottish-born entrepreneur William Gibson founded Jonsereds Fabriker here, and its mills helped shape the settlement’s compact layout beside the river. The former factory environment remains central to Jonsered’s identity, while the wooded slopes of Bokedalen Nature Reserve begin close to the built-up area. Jonsered lies east of Gothenburg in Västra Götaland, where the Säveån continues towards the Göta River.
