Huskvarna (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈhʉ̂ːsˌkvɑːɳa] ; formerly spelled Husqvarna) constitutes the eastern part of Jönköping, a city in the Swedish province of Småland, and has a population of about 24,000.[1] The distance to central Jönköping is about 5 km.[citation needed] The name Huskvarna translates to House Mill.[2]
Between 1911 and 1970, it was a city municipality of its own. It geographically grew together with Jönköping in the 1950s. Since the local government reform in 1971, it is administratively within Jönköping Municipality.
