Lomma

Lomma is a locality and the seat of Lomma Municipality, Skåne County, Sweden with 10,837 inhabitants in 2010. Of the Scanian towns that never acquired town privileges before abolished in Sweden in 1971, Staffanstorp is the sixth largest.

The town is situated by the Øresund strait inwards in Scania. The base of the triangle follows the coast, approximately 25 kilometres starting in Malmö in the south. As a village it is mentioned in 14th century sources, but it would remain fairly insignificant in the shadow of more important towns such as Lund, Dalby and Malmö. An inn and the local hundred-jail with two cells were located there in the 19th century.

Lomma expanded in the late 19th century due to railways (1875 and 1892) and a sugar factory (1885), that all were abolished about 100 years later.
