Hässleholm is a locality and the seat of Hässleholm Municipality, Scania County, Sweden with 18,500 inhabitants in 2011. Hässleholm was gradually developed from 1860 in connection with the construction of the main Stockholm-to-Malmö railway line. There was no settlement on the spot before the arrival of the railway. The station got its name from a manor situated in the vicinity of a planned railway junction. It gained the city title in 1914 and was then classified as one of Sweden's smallest cities. During the 20th century, it developed into a military hub. After the end of the Cold War, most of the military establishments were disbanded or moved to other locations.
