City of Lund bought this plot of land in 1904.[8] In 1907, before the area became a park, Lundautställningen exhibition was held here. In 1907 Lundautställningen had 1427 exhibitors and attracted more than ten times as many visitors as Lund's population at the time.[9] [10] [11] In 1911, Stadsparken was inaugurated and opened to the public.[12]
