Mjölby is located by the rivulet Svartån. The name "Mjölby" is derived from Mölloby, which comes from mylna or mölna, meaning "mill". Due to the rapids of Svartån and the fertile soils of the surrounding plains, Mjölby is a natural place for a mill.
During the Dacke War in 1542–1543 Mjölby was the northernmost point reached by the rebels from Småland.[2]
