History
The town Hedemora was chartered in 1446, which means it is the oldest and only medieval town in Dalarna. In 1754 and 1849 the town was severely hit by fire. The fire in 1754 destroyed 90 out of the 110 house lots in the town, including all the grain storages. However, the massive destruction made it possible to modernize the town structure, with straighter blocks and streets. Hedemora held Gustav I of Sweden's first mint, in use 1521–1524. In 1958, a motor racing circuit laid out in the city hosted the first Swedish motorcycle Grand Prix of MotoGP.
