Skranta
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
History
In the 1900s the shopping centre Skrantahöjdstorget was built, consisting of small number of shops, along with a small supermarket, and a hair salon. The area is largely residential, though broken up by green spaces and offices. Previously, there was an elementary and middle school in Skranta,[1] but today there is only a high school.
In 1945, several areas were purchased in Karlskoga, including Skranta, intended for residential development.[2]
In popular culture
Mia Skäringer's character Tabita on Skrantabacken,[3] portrayed a humorous stereotype of a suburban mom in Skranta.
In 2016, a Skranta documentary series called "Skolpojkarna" (lit. 'The School Boys') was aired on SVT1 and UR Play. The series aimed to highlight the reasons why boys performed worse than girls in school.[4][5]
