The earliest findings in Söderhamn are dated back to the Iron Age, although the city was not founded until 1620 when the industry of arms became important. The city is located on the east coast of the province and there is a beautiful archipelago with about 500 islands and skerries. The entire coast is named after the largest island and is called Jungfrukusten (Virgincoast).

There used to be fishing villages on many of the islands but nowadays Skärså is the only one still having an active fishing industry. Söderhamn is also a green oasis with extensive parks, flower gardens and other vegetation. 98 different plants are to be found in various settings around the town. Another place worth visiting is the distinctive Oscarsborg, whose palatial watchtower has became a nationally famous symbol for the town. Here you will find an outstanding view from the top.

Besides the things mentioned above, Söderhamn has something for every taste: sea trips, bathing, game-fishing, historical sites, relaxation, sports and amusements.
