History
Stenungsund holds the largest chemical cluster of its kind in Sweden, producing plastic in primary forms and basic chemicals. The name Stenungsund comes from the village stenunge that was located where central Stenungsund now exists. Historians believe the name meant "the village at the foot of the mountain." The village had several names including Staenungum, Steffningsbyn and lastly Stännung. [5]
