Trelleborg, on the coast of Skåne, is the most southerly town in Sweden. Founded in the 12th century, it owed its prosperity in the Middle Ages mainly to the abundant supplies of herring in the Baltic. In 1619 it lost its municipal charter to Malmö, but recovered it in 1867. A period of rapid development began with the construction of the harbor and the coming of the railroad in 1875, when Trelleborg was linked to the Swedish network by a branch line from Lund. The town now plays an important part in communications with the mainland of Europe.
Trelleborg has the second largest seaport in Sweden. A ferry service to Sassnitz on the German island of Rügen was opened in 1897, and this was later followed by a link with Travemünde.
