In Boden we live a life of #Närhetsliv. By that we mean the life where you’re close to everything that matters and more – your children’s activities, your job, schools, cultural events, attractive homes, shopping and nature.
Thirteen kilometers northeast of Boden, along county road 356, the village of Skogså is the center of a cluster of small villages: Skatamarkbyarna. In addition to Skogså, this includes Åskogen, Häggan and Ubbyn. The area has been inhabited since the early Middle Ages and interesting finds have been made in the surroundings, including log boats. The buildings are mixed, with both older farms and villas built in the 1990s. Skogså has a preschool with after-school care, a soccer field, light trails and snowmobile trails. As a village, it offers a peaceful and natural accommodation with hilly forest terrain and a small forest river. In recent years, new families with children have moved here, which has led to the expansion of the village’s own preschool. About 80 people currently live in Skogså.
At the end of the 19th century, the village had a water-powered sawmill, mill, dairy and a manor house. The leading activity today is the Skogså Activity Center, which in 2017 was nominated for Rural Entrepreneur of the Year at the Business Gala.
