Nacka (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈnâkːa]) is a town in Sweden. It is the main town, or municipal seat, of Nacka Municipality. This means it's where the local government offices are located. Nacka is also part of the larger Stockholm urban area.
The name Nacka comes from a factory that was built in the 1500s. This factory used water power from mills near a farm called Nacka farmstead. Even though the factory was there, the main part of Nacka today is actually on land that used to belong to another farm, Järla farmstead, which is across Lake Järla.
