America's Little Sweden
Incorporated
in 1894, Lindström was first settled by Daniel Lindström
who left Sweden for America in 1853. Among the Swedish
Emigrants was Erik Norelius, whose personal journals
(documented in part) formed the basis of Vilhelm Moberg’s
novels of the Swedish Emigration to America. Moberg’s
fictional heroes, Karl-Oskar and Kristina Nilsson, are
memorialized in statue at the west end of town as a
tribute to the early Swedish immigrants whose
descendents continue to populate our area.
”Vi välkomnar vår systerstads svenska familj, vänner och besökare från
Tingsryd till vår webbsida och stad!" ("We
welcome our Sister City's Swedish Family, Friends, and
Visitors from Tingsryd to our website and City!")
