The city lent its name to the Kalmar Union, the 1397 personal union of Scandinavia formalized by the Treaty of Kalmar, which shaped the region until Sweden broke free in the 1520s. A Kalmar War in 1611 brought Danish forces that destroyed the town of Hisingen. Rail manufacturing is another thread: Kalmar Verkstad, a train factory founded in 1902, was eventually closed by Bombardier in 2005. Shared connections run heavily to Denmark and Norway as fellow former Union members.
