Geocache Description:


Bakgrunds information om omgivningen/ Information about the surrounding buildings:

Strengbergs tobaksfabrik grundades år 1762. Tobaken odlades i Jakobstad ända till slutet av 1860-talet. Elektriskt ljus fick fabriken år 1889 och var den första plats i Jakobstad som hade elektricitet. Under 1800-talet blev fabriken Jakobstads största arbetsgivare. Under 1920-talet var Strengbergs tobaksfabrik den största tobaksfabriken i Finland och hela Norden. Fabriken hade cirka 1300 arbetare anställda. På 1990-talet köptes fabriken av Swedish Match. Under året 1998 avvecklades tobaksfabriken Jakobstad, tillverkningen flyttade utomlands och en 236 årig tobakstillverkning i Jakobstad upphörde.

Nu är rödtegel delen stadshus och den andra, som är på sluttampen av en grundrenovering, inhyser flera olika företag. Strengbergs är också ”porten” till den gamla trästadsdelen i Jakobstad, Skata.
