The history of Port of Umeå

The port of Umeå has a long and exciting history. The fact is that the port in its current location was only established in 1919, before that it was located in several places along the Umeå river (Umeåälven). The first port was established in the Middle Ages and was located at Baggböle, upstream of the river. Due to land elevation, the Port of Umeå has since migrated towards the sea.
