This paper combines case study evidence and quantitative data to investigate co-location of related industries and path dependent qualitative economic change in Swedish cities 1900-1965. We find that it is more likely that cities added related industries to their existing production portfolios after the Second Industrial Revolution than just any industries, and that industries that were less embedded in the industry structures of the cities were more likely to exit the region. Swedish cities were characterized by some degree of coherence very early in the industrial era. The results provide historical evidence to the debate on industry paths in qualitative regional economic change.
