Södermalm borough

Södermalm borough

Södermalm borough is a "city district area" (Swedish: stadsdelsområde, often referred to as a "borough") in central Stockholm, created January 1 2007, through the merging of the boroughs of Maria-Gamla Stan and Katarina-Sofia. It covers the island of Södermalm and some neighboring districts.

The two former boroughs made up the eastern and western half of the island of Södermalm. The Maria-Gamla Stan also included the island districts of Gamla Stan, Långholmen, Reimersholme and Riddarholmen; Katarina-Sofia included the mainland district Hammarby Sjöstad (Södra Hammarbyhamnen), south of Södermalm. All these districts are now parts of the new Södermalm borough.

Maria-Gamla Stan was the result of a previous merging between the original borough with the same name, and the former borough of Hornstull, in 1999.

Södermalm borough has a population of around 110,000, making it the most populated borough of Stockholm.
