History edit

The name "Riksby" is derived from Riksby gård, a farm once located in the parish of Bromma parish. The village of Riksby was mentioned for the first time in a parish letter from 1409, when it was known as Rodhersby.[2]

Stockholm Municipality bought the land in the year 1904. It was previously a part of the estate of Åkeshofs Castle (Åkeshof Slott).[3]

In 1930, Riksby became an allotment. Because of this the house owners moved from the old Fredhällskolonin on Kungsholmen to Riksby. The district  was established in 1926. In 1939 it was decided that the area was to be an apartment area and the following year the colonizers were to move to  Iris Glia and  Kortenslund. During the interwar period several colony areas in Bromma were added. Riksby allotment was added in 1930. Iris Glia and Iris Riksby  were established in the year 1939. Kortenslund  was founded 1939-1940.[4]

The area for Riksby allotment area is planned through zoning. Riksby allotment area is one of the few allotments in Stockholm that are set in a city plan with official city blocks and roads and is one of the four allotments that is located like a string around the southern and south-western side of Bromma Airport. According to Stockholm city planning office they are included in areas where attention needs to be devoted to culture historical values.
