Njurunda

Njurunda (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈnjʉ̂ːˌrɵnːda])[1] is a small village in Sundsvall Municipality, located in Västernorrland County, Sweden.

The village is situated at the mouth of the Ljungan river and located about 17 kilometers south of Sundsvall.

It is primarily a sleeper town for Sundsvall, with a residential population of about 5,000 households and about 450 small to medium-sized businesses.

The elementary school is Kyrkmons skola, which has about 339 students, most of whom head on to Kvissleby and Nivrenaskolan for their 7th - 9th grades before they finally move on to the secondary schools in Sundsvall.

Industrialization began around 1830 when several saw mills were established close to the Ljungan, which was used to float logs out to the coast.
