The western densely built-up area of Nacka Municipality is a contiguous part of the city of Stockholm.

The area has been populated since the first mountaintops emerged as islands from the sea after the end of the last ice age, during the Mesolithic.

A Danish sailing description from the end of the 13th century describes the area as a transportation region.

In the 18th century the restaurants closer to the city were transformed from shabby small places to more sophisticated establishments.

During the wintertime the waterways changes somewhat and instead of taking the sea way the travelers crossed the many lakes with sleighs in order to reach Stockholm.

The municipality's name harks back to a 16th-century industrial operation established by the Crown at Nacka farmstead where conditions for water mills are good.

On their way to Stockholm greatly outnumbered Swedish forces managed to fight off the attacking Russians at the battle of Stäket.

Due to massive increase in housing supply the population is predicted to grow at an annual rate of more the 3% by the year 2020.
