Valö Parish, Stockholm, Sweden Genealogy

History
In 1612 Valö församling broke off from Forsmark parish.

Valö lies in northeast Uppland province (landskap) and now in Uppsala County (län) but before 1971 it was included in Stockholms län. Woodland covers much of the parish but some farming and a little mining have supported the population. Vigelsbo mines operated in the western end of the parish and its raliroad spur from 1925 connected with the much older Dannamora-Harg narrow-guage line. When a small mill in the area closed in the 1920s the railroad was abandond. As of year 2000 the parish population was 622.
