Stockholm County

Stockholm County extends across 6,519 square kilometers, encompassing 26 municipalities, numerous islands, coastal areas, lakes, and forested regions along the Baltic Sea.

The establishment of Stockholm County in 1714 marked a significant administrative change, with the city of Stockholm remaining separate until its incorporation in 1968.

The county serves as the center of Swedish education, hosting multiple universities including Stockholm University, Karolinska Institute, and the Royal Institute of Technology.

The Stockholm County Council manages public transportation through Storstockholms Lokaltrafik, operating extensive networks of buses, trains, metros, and boats across municipalities.

The county generates nearly one-third of Sweden's economic output, with its population of 2.4 million people spread across mainland territories and archipelago settlements.
