Malmö itself has a rich history. It began as a Danish market town in 1275. Hanseatic traders boosted its growth in the 1300s. They built homes and churches using herring profits. King Eric I fortified the town with Malmöhus castle in the 1430s.
The 16th century saw further expansion under Mayor Jorgen Kock. He created the Stortorget central square. Many buildings from that era still stand today. In the 17th century Sweden gained control of Malmö.
Malmö then rose as an industrial powerhouse. This happened after modernizing its harbor in the late 1700s. Kockums shipyard became a world leader after opening in 1840. The city suffered recessions in the mid-1970s. Kockums closed in 1986 marking the end of an era.
