Böda socken

Since 1974, it has been part of the Borgholm Municipality on the island of Öland, Sweden.

Böda parish is mentioned in a transcript from about 1320 ("de Bødhum"), and in the Böda missal from the first half of the 14th century ("ecclesie Bødhe"); there is an attestation from 1346 ("in parochiis ... bodha").

The medieval boundaries of the socken were about the same as those from the 1950s, with the exception of the village Binnerbäck, which was transferred around 1649 from Böda to Högby socken.

After the municipal reform in 1862, the responsibility for the ecclesiastical and civil organization of the socken was transferred to the Böda landskommun.

[2] In 2010 the parish became part of Northern Öland's Assembly.
