Fellingsbro is an urban area and parish in the historical province of Västmanland and in present Lindesberg Municipality, Örebro County, Sweden.

History

The parish of Fellingsbro is mentioned already in 1331 as "Parochia Fælansbro", but the first parish church was probably built already in the 1100s. In the late 1500s and early 1600s many small ironworks were built at the rivers that are running from north to south in the parish. The main product at these ironworks were bar iron. Most of the people were employed in this small scale iron industry and in the rather extensive farming up until the late 1800s when most of the ironworks were closed. Some of the ironworks were then transformed into paper mills.

In 1857 a railroad between Örebro and Arboga was built and a station in Fellingsbro was opened some kilometres east of the parish church. A new urban area with shops and small mechanical industries soon grew up around this railroad station. This urban area was called Fellingsbro after the name of the parish. It became a municipality of its own in 1911, but was again united with the rest of the parish in 1957 and in 1971 Fellingsbro Municipality was incorporated into Lindesberg Municipality.
