The name Skogås comes from the two words skog - meaning forest, and ås - meaning ridge; hence The Forest-covered Ridge reflecting Skogås's topography of hills, ridges and valleys.

Skogås started its history as a cottage summer retreat outside the capital but was given town-like structures during the 1960's, when the town-centre containing some 30 shops was finished. During the 80's a large settlement of rowhouses (the largest in the country) was added in the eastern part of the suburb and since that several areas of villas and one-family houses has increased the population greatly.

Sights include The Ågesta Nature Reserve, the lakes Drevviken, Magelungen and Orlången, the congregations church Mariakyrkan, Trångsund Manor and the high-school Östra Gymnasiet which is still under construction.
