Silverdalen (Swedish for The Silver Valley) is a locality situated in Hultsfred Municipality, Kalmar County, Sweden with 725 inhabitants in 2010.[1]

The Nässjö - Oskarshamn railway line passes through the settlement since 1874. It was given the name Silverdalen in 1931. Before that it was either called Hällefors or Råsa-Lönneberga. The paper mill located here was founded around 1874 and was in operation until year 2002 when M-real (which had taken over as owner in 2000) closed down its operation. The Municipality also had a railway which was completed in 1874.[2] The initial name of the railway stop was Rasa which later was later changed at the same time with the paper mill in 1931.[3] Together, they were named Silverdalen after a naming dispute with the Swedish postal service.[4] The train station was later closed down in 2014.[5] As of 2020, the population of Silverdalen was estimated to have declined to 666,[6] with the male population being at 330 while the female was at 336.[7]
