Fälö by

Fälö by is a village in northern Roslagen, Börstil parish, Väddö and Häverö skeppslag, Östhammar, Uppsala County, Sweden.

The village lies east of Raggarön, north of Slatön, south of Ormön/Vässarö and west of Singö.

In the second half of the 19th century there were about five small farms and a similar number of smaller households (i.e. cottage, etc.).

The southern part constitutes "real" Fälön; the midsection, Kungens skär and Måsören; the north, Ängsholmen and Långören.

[6] There is a possible common root with the south Swedish word Fälad, referring to either croplands, or on the ground.

Previously a temporary meadow and barn were found where the animals were shipped by boat.

Tallören is a small island wedged between Furuskär and Björkgrundet that grew up with Björgrundet when parts of Enholmssundet dried out because of land uplift in the 19th century.

The area is considerably less-developed and influenced by humans than the more southern parts of Roslagen and Stockholm archipelago, and is bordered to the south by the Slaton-Medholma nature reserves.

Elk, deer, eagles, lynx and wild boar are examples of large animals that have been present on the islands in recent years.
