The modern Oskarström was founded in 1885, when a hat factory was started here, and then in 1890 Oscar Björkman founded the jute factory, and the modern town was born. The town is built around the scenic beauty of the Nissan River and is surrounded by dense woodlands. Nearby on the edge of town you also have the Mickedala Nature Reserve and also the Furulundsbadet, a popular outdoor pool complex. The town is also well known for its mix of historic industrial brick buildings with classic Scandinavian wooden homes.
