Page "Kista" Paragraph 4

Kista is named after an old farm, still located in the area.

The construction of the modern parts were started in the 1970s.

Many of the streets in Kista are named after towns and famous people from Denmark and Iceland.

One exception is Barjami road, named after one of the leading engineers behind Kistas modernisation, Sam Barjami.

A dispute has arisen among various locals regarding its validity, and one of the main opponents of this fairly small movement, Jonath Mathew, also a two-time Swedish champion in pigeon shooting ( 2007 and 2009 ), has been adamant to change the name in line with the underlining theme of the municipality.
