==History==
In 1860 Liljeholmen became the first suburb outside [[Stockholm]] city limits. The district was then one of two self-governing villages within the [[Brännkyrka municipality|Brännkyrka rural district]] (the other was [[Örby]]), until 1913, when it was incorporated into Stockholm. During the [[1912 Summer Olympics]], it hosted parts of the [[Cycling at the 1912 Summer Olympics|cycling]] and [[Equestrian at the 1912 Summer Olympics|equestrian]] events.<ref>[http://www.la84foundation.org/6oic/OfficialReports/1912/1912.pdf 1912 Summer Olympics official report.] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080410231505/http://www.la84foundation.org/6oic/OfficialReports/1912/1912.pdf |date=2008-04-10 }} pp. 439, 584.</ref>

==Economy and transportation==
Liljeholmen contains industries and offices in [[Årstadal]], apartments in [[Nybohov]] and [[Nyboda]] and [[Trekanten (Stockholm)|Lake Trekanten]]. New residential areas are being built around the central square, former industrial areas near [[Årstaviken]], and at [[Marievik]] as a part of several projects to enlarge the inner core of Stockholm. Metro lines 13 and 14 stop at [[Liljeholmen Metro station]] and there are 3 tram stops for [[Tvärbanan]] in the district: Årstadal, Liljeholmen and Trekanten.
