    "Söderhamn still lacks a monument to the city's founder, King Gustaf II Adolf," wrote "Söderhamns Zeitung" in December 1895. But then the local singing club founded the Gustaf Adolf Fund to erect an obelisk in honor of the hero king. In 1897, the club bought a finished obelisk that Örnsköldsvik's stonemason had brought to the Stockholm exhibition. A bronze medallion with the portrait of Gustaf II Adolf was ordered from Stockholm. On November 6, 1899, the obelisk was inaugurated on the town hall square. The locals somewhat disrespectfully call the monument "Toothpick."
