This article appears in Volume V09, Page 769 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: EMS-EUD
ESKILSTUNA , a town of
Sweden
  in the
district
  (lan) of Sddermanland, on the Hjelmar river, which unites lakes Hjelmar and Malar, 65 m. W. of Stockholm by rail. Pop. (1900) 13,663. The place is mentioned in the 13th
century
 , and is said to derive its name from Eskil, an
English
  missionary who suffered martyrdom on the spot. It rose into importance in the reign of Charles X., who bestowed on-it considerable privileges, and gave the first impulse to its manufacturing activity. It is the
chief
  seat in
Sweden
  of the iron and steel
industries
 , its
cutlery
  being especially noted, while damascened
work
  is a specialty. There is a technical school for the metal
industries
 . There are, in the town or its neighbourhood,
great
  engineering, gun-making, and
rolling
  and polishing works and breweries. The largest mechanical works are those of Munktell and Tunafors. The Karl Gustaf Stads rifle factory was established in 1814.
