About Avesta

Avesta is a locality and the seat of Avesta Municipality in Dalarna County, Sweden, with 11,949 populations in 2015. The call is first observed in 1303 as "Aghastadhum". Aghe is of similar beginning because the word a, which means stream, in this situation the Avestafors, a tributary of the river Dalalven. Stadhum changed into dative plural of a word of comparable foundation as stead, or farm.In the Scandinavian Middle Ages there was a blast furnace at the vicinity.

In 1636 the development of a large copper mine became initiated close to the Avesta fors. The town Avesta received partial privileges in 1641 as a town below the city of Falun, and in 1644 a copper mint became constructed. However, the privileges have been withdrawn in 1688 because of lawsuits of opposition from its neighbour, specifically Falun. Copper cash had been persevered to be minted until 1831, and the copper works turned into in function until 1869. Full city rights were regranted in 1919. The certain coat of fingers depicts the symptoms for copper and iron.
