Arboga is a city in central Sweden and the seat of Arboga Municipality, Västmanland County.

Overview

The city of Arboga is known to have existed as a town since the late 1200's but the area has been inhabitated since around the 900's. The name (originally Arbugæ) consists of the two words "Ar" which in ancient Swedish means river and bughi which means "bend" and which together has the meaning River bend. The first parliament of Sweden (Riksdag) was held in the city in 1435. The city has the population of 10,600 (2005).

Today the city is an important traffic link since the highways E18 and E20 merge there. Two railways "Mälarbanan" and "Svealandsbanan", between Stockholm and Hallsberg also merge in Arborga.

Albertus Pictor, the most famous Swedish artist of the late medieval period, was admitted burgher of the town in 1465.

Events

Bring Me The Horizon, a deathcore/metalcore band from Sheffield, England recorded their second full length album, Suicide Season with Fredrik Nordstrom.
