==History==
The earliest human traces are from the [[Stone Age]], circa 8000 BC. From some later times, the [[Nordic Bronze Age]], are several remains such as [[cist]]s and gravefields. And from the [[Viking Age]], ca 800–1,000 AD, are seven kept [[runestone]]s.

After the [[christianisation]] of Sweden, churches were built in the 12th and 13th century, and several churches have their foundation from that time.

The name "Boxholm" is first to be found in the 16th century, as the name of a manor by [[Arvid Stenbock]]. Boxholm thus comes from "Bock's holm" (''holm'' a [[modern Swedish]] and  [[Old Norse]] word for [[islet]]).

An iron works was constructed in 1754, and a community grew up around it. The major expansion were however made in the 1850–1900.
