Modern Vetlanda has its origins in a number of large farms, whose names live on in central Vetlanda. The city charter was celebrated with a big party at Stortorget at the turn of the year 1919/1920. In the mid-1960’s, as in many other small Swedish towns, a “clean-up” began, and some older houses were demolished.
