History
Norra Djurgårdsstaden is historically apart of Royal Djurgården. Since the 1880s this area was developed into one of Stockholm's largest industrial areas together with its harbour. The direct acces to the Baltic Sea was one of the reasons to in 1884 build Värtahamnen. To a beginning, this harbour was mainly used to transporting coal, used as fuel to the local gasworks.
During the start of the 21st century, it was decided for this area to be modernised and the previous industries to be demolished.
The name "Stockholm Royal Seaport" came about during the recent constructions since 2010.
