History
Oskarshamn was first known as Döderhultsvik before it was granted its town charter in 1856. It's name was subsequently changed from Döderhultsvik to Oskarshamn after King Oscar I of Sweden allowed them to become a city. Any records before 1856 will be found in Döderhultsvik (or Döderhult forsamling).
