22. Södergårdarna (The southern farms)

Norrby is a very old ’bolby’ where self-owned farmers live on their own farms. The villages probably arose as early as the Iron Age (500 BC to 1050 AD). During the Middle Ages, two earlier older villages, Nedrebyn in Bergby and Litsleby in Norrby, disappeared. Norrby is one of the larger villages in Häverö parish, the name Norrby has been known since 1429. Originally, Norrby village was concentrated around the hill where Södergårdarna is located today. During the Middle Ages, several farms were divided and moved out. On the map of Norrby from 1780, we can see the relocated locations of the farms. Södergårdarna today consists of 3 smaller farms next to each other.
