Äskhults 1700 century village north of Axtorp in Kungsbacka Municipality is a preserved village. The buildings are ancient and gives a good picture of how many southwest Swedish villages looked like 300 years ago. The village consists of the four farms Göttas, Jönsas, Bengt and Derras. The name Äskhult is formed by the Danish words for ash and grove. When people settled here first we don´t know, but in the fields there have been found flint artifacts from Neolithic times. In Förlanda tax roll from 1600 the four farms are mentioned. From that time the village's history is well documented. The village looks similar to that of the 1700s. The oldest buildings are from the 1600s. At the end of the 1800s, there lived about 35 people in the village. Between 1890-1914 25 of them emigrated to America. The last villager died in 1964.
