Bysten av Jonas Alströmer på Stora torget i Alingsås, den 8 maj 2006. Den uppfördes av Aron Sandberg och invigdes den 2 juni 1905 - A bust of Jonas Alströmer and the man who popularized potatoes in Sweden Alingsås is first mentioned in written sources during the 14th century. The name is derived from the personal name "Ale" and the word "ås", meaning "ridge". Alingsås was granted city rights in 1619, stayed a small city with less than 150 inhabitants until the early 1720s, when Jonas Alströmer established a manufactory in the city. He also popularized potatoes in Sweden, growing them in Nolhaga castle. The crop is therefore associated with Alingsås, which hosts a potato festival every year. It also became a centre for the early Swedish textile industry. Despite two major city fires during the 18th century, Alingsås grew to 1,000 inhabitants by the year 1800. The city was hit hard by a crisis in the Swedish textile industry during the 1960s and 70s.
