Kabe Sommarland was built by a company called KABE Husvagnar AB. They are known for making caravans. The park was created in the early 1980s. It was a big project to bring summer fun to Jönköping.
When Kabe Sommarland Opened
The park first opened its doors in 1984. A special guest, Gösta Gunnarsson, helped open it. At that time, he was the governor of Jönköping County. Governors are important leaders in a region, like a state or province.
