==Notability==
The ''Åtvidabergs Vagnfabrik'' (Wagon Factory), was founded in 1910 and constructed early cars. A total of 12 cars were made. They resembled the American [[carriage]] with large wheels.

The Åtvidaberg church "Stora Kyrkan" ("the Big Church") was built in the 1870s in [[neo-Gothic]] style. The remains of a 17th-century church were also of interest. It was rebuilt and is now functioning as a church again, "Gamla Kyrkan" ("the Old Church").

At the end of the 19th century almost one third of the population of Åtvidaberg Municipality in Sweden emigrated to [[Ishpeming, Michigan]] in the [[United States]] as copper mines in the Åtvidaberg area closed down. In 1994 this was commemorated by a plaquette at the Mormorsgruvan mine of Åtvidaberg.

At Eksäter, north of the railway, there is a statue representing [[David Drummond (soldier)|David Drummond]] (1593-1638). He was for a time an officer at the Östgöta foot with residence in Slevringe outside Åtvidaberg. He later became colonel of [[Kalmar Regiment]]. David Drummond is the first known tobacco smoker in Sweden.<ref>Topelius, Christer (1981). ''Sällsamheter i Östergötland'', vol. 2, p. 67.</ref>
