Nässjö was for a long time only a rural village with agriculture as the dominating occupation. The turnpile was the Swedish [[railroad]]s. The southern main line railway finished in [[1864]] passed through Nässjö between [[Malmö]] (in the south) and [[Falköping]] (in the midth country). Later, other railroads were inaugurated, whereby Nässjö, due to its geographical location in the country, became an important railroad junction. A line to [[Katrineholm]] was opened in 1874, and that year also so the openingen of the [[Oskarshamn]] line; the one to [[Halmstad]] in 1882; to [[Kalmar]] in 1914.

The most important industries were wood industries due to the forest covered [[Småland]] province area, at a time when it had become possible to factory manufacture the wooden chair (a.k.a [[windsor chair]]).


Nässjö tried to get a [[charter]], which was granted in [[1914]], making it one of the now defunct [[Cities of Sweden]]. Its population continued to increas throughout the 20th century. In the 1940s production of the fire tools began, and the industry "Eldon AB" was for a long time the largest industry of the town.
