List of cities in Sweden

This is a list of cities in Sweden, that were chartered before 1971. In that year the cities were removed as administrative entities and wholly replaced by the municipalities. The former cities are today mere agglomerations and seats of residence for the respective municipal government, which includes the surrounding countryside.
