Johan August Hedberg made the creation of Hedbergska parken possible by acquiring and then donating the land to the city of Sundsvall. The park contains a portrait bust of Johan August Hedberg.
The sculpture was erected in the summer of 1931 as a gift to Sundsvalls stad from the bank director Erik Berggren. It is a work by the artist Gustav Adolf Hedblom, who was born in Sundsvall.
The portrait bust stands on a 135 cm high pedestal made of ragundagranit.
