Backa also known as Hisings Backa is a suburb in Gothenburg, and was one of Gothenburg’s 20 districts.[1] On January 1, 2011 Backa merged with two other districts of Gothenburg, Kärra-Rödbo and Tuve-Säve, to form the district of Norra Hisingen.[2] This change was part of a larger reorganisation, reducing the number of districts in Gothenburg from 20 to 10.[3]
