The municipality emerged from Swedish administrative reforms in the 1970s through the merger of several local government units. This reorganization brought together the historic city of Karlskrona with surrounding communities into one administrative entity.
The municipality maintains partnerships with cities like Gdynia in Poland and Hillerød in Denmark that support cultural exchange. These international connections shape how residents interact and create opportunities for regular meetings between communities.
The administrative center offers access to digital services that help residents easily find updated information on local services. The territory is spread out and is best explored by car, though public transport also connects the different settlements.
The territory hosts a significant Swedish naval base that has shaped the region's economic and strategic importance for centuries. This military presence has made Karlskrona a center for shipbuilding technology and maritime innovation.
