Hjulsta, a suburb of Stockholm known for its working-class roots, is often associated with Tensta but boasts its own subway station. This station, the terminal point of the blue line, has been operational since 1975.
The name ‘Hjulsta’ for the contemporary urban area is derived from an ancient village that existed in the vicinity since at least the 1480s.
The artwork adorning the station is the collective effort of various artists. This includes ‘Sjöfåglar’ by Christina Rundqvist-Andersson, ‘Sista skörden i norra Botkyrka’ by Olle Magnusson, and ‘Landbyska verken vid Engelbrektsplan år 1890’ by Ruth Rydfeldt.
