Höskuson

Höskuson is a Swedish locality founded in 1942 as a result of the construction of a hydroelectric power plant on the river Dalälven. The community was established to house the workers and employees of the nearby power plant, as well as their families. The name Höskuson translates to "stream on the slope" in Swedish, which refers to the location of the settlement on the side of a hill overlooking the river.

Initially, Höskuson was a small hamlet with limited amenities, but over the years it has grown to become a sizeable community with its own services and facilities. The population of Höskuson has remained relatively small, with a total of around 200-300 residents. Despite its modest size, the community has a strong sense of identity and a close-knit community spirit.

Höskuson is situated in the county of Dalarna, Sweden, and is surrounded by rolling countryside and forests. The nearby dam and power plant have provided a source of employment for the residents of Höskuson, and the town's economic situation has historically been tied to the performance of the energy industry. Today, Höskuson remains a small but thriving community, proud of its history and its unique cultural heritage.
