Västra Älvsala is a locality situated in Värmdö Municipality, Stockholm County, Sweden.
Statistics Sweden demarcated the settlement into a small town between 1995 and 2015 called Fagerdala. In the delimitation of urban areas in 2015, Fagerdala was included in the new urban area of Älvsala.[2] At the clearing in 2020, the settlement was separated from Älvsala and reclassified as a separate locality named Västra Älvsdala.
History
[edit]Fagerdala was included in Ulffzala quarter in 1538. The farm was granted in 1638 to Axel Oxenstierna. Hemmanet was burned in 1719 by the Imperial Russian Fleet.[3] During the latter part of the 18th century, the farm was owned by the Psilanderhjelm family in nearby Brevik.[3]
Society
[edit]Near the jetty there are some older wooden houses. Some buildings are used as holiday homes, but with an increasing proportion of permanent residences.[4]
Nature
[edit]West of Västra Älvsala is the Morträsket wetland with bird and plant life worthy of protection.[5]
