The village has a history as early as 1339, documented in the testament of the Rutvik local Svenalde. The population has expanded heavily since the 1970s after industrial expansions were made in central Luleå. Before the population boom, farming was the main industry of the village. In recent years there are no active farms, but horse enthusiasts have stables and keep the grasslands open. There are no significant watercourses, except a shallow creek and some smaller lakes in the surrounding forests.
