==History== The name, made official in 1921 because 'it is already established', was preceded by others, such as Örebrohamnen ("Örebro Harbour"), because ships from the city of Örebro used to be moored here; Mälarhamnen ("Harbour of Mälaren") as it is facing the Lake Mälaren; and Munkbrokajen ("Monk's Bridge Quay"), like the square Munkbron in references to the Greyfriars abbey once located nearby on Riddarholmen.
