History
The names of the streets and blocks in the Haga district bear traces of the area's military heritage connected with the fortress Kronan. They are also echoed in the university buildings that were built here in the early 1990s, when the entire district was renovated. The name of the street where the university buildings are located derives from a hill that was blasted in the early 19th century in order to get building materials to the then new Haga.
