Häggvik
The land for Häggvik had been given by Johan Axel Häggberg, from Skälby farm, which was also the name of the village where people had lived long ago. At Hagvägen is a burial ground that gives a picture of ancient Sollentuna. At Hagvägen there is 28 burial mounds from the Iron Age, as well as a stone wall from the 1920s.

Johan Axel Häggberg came to Skälby for the first time in 1896, with the purpose of putting both Skälby but also Väderholmen for renting, and later became the owner of both farms. In 1911, Häggberg decided to divide the land in Skälby into plots, which were neither adaptable for cultivation or livestock. Land sales continued south and the emerging society in Skälby would later be called Häggvik.

In 1932, Sollentuna's fifth, and last station, was completed, which would be named Häggvikstation. In the beginning it was not blatant that a station would be built between Tureberg and Norrviken, but the initiative was taken to create a collection at the landlords. They got together about SEK 50000, which caused Swedens railway company, SJ, to join in the construction of the train station. On the platform they planted nice lawns, elegant lanterns and roseplantations.

In häggvik there is also a shopping center called Stinsen, a supermarket and the municipality's largest school, Häggvikskolan.
