Stockholm County (, ) is a county () on the Baltic Sea coast of Sweden. It borders Uppsala County and Södermanland County. It also borders Mälaren and the Baltic Sea. The city of Stockholm is the capital of Sweden. Stockholm County is divided by the historic provinces of Uppland (Roslagen) and Södermanland (Södertörn). More than one fifth of the Swedish population lives in the county. Stockholm County is also one of the statistical (national areas) according to NUTS:SE, Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics within the EU. With more than two million inhabitants, Stockholm is the most densely populated county of Sweden.
History
Stockholm County was established in 1714. The City of Stockholm then constituted its own administrative entity under the Governor of Stockholm and was not part of Stockholm County. Though outside Stockholm County, the City of Stockholm was its seat.
On 1 January 1968, Stockholm County was united with the City of Stockholm. At the same time, the borders were redrawn in other directions too; Upplands-Bro Municipality was transferred from Uppsala County and a large part of the modern day Östhammar Municipality was transferred to Uppsala County.

Nature and wildlife
In 2023, there were two national parks in Stockholm County: Tyresta National Park and Ängsö National Park. Tyresta National Park was established in 1993 and consists of a total of hectares of coniferous forest, lakes, and wetlands. Its primeval forest is described by the County Administrative Board as "one of the finest in southern Sweden," and has trees up to 400 years old. Rare lichens, wood fungi, mosses, and beetles thrive in the forest. Ängsö National Park park is the older, having been established in 1909, and consists of 190 hectares of archipelago, meadows and pastures, and mixed forest. It is located on an island, only accessible by boat. The area has been kept open since the 1930s through mowing and grazing. Types of orchids such as elder-flowered orchid, frog orchid, lesser butterfly-orchid, greater butterfly-orchid, common twayblade, and bird's-nest orchid grow in the meadows.
The county also has a national city park, Royal National City Park. The park includes old forest and cliffs as well as castles and museums.

County council
The local administration of the county is under Stockholm County Council (Stockholms läns landsting). Its main responsibilities are for the public healthcare system and public transport.
The county council has 149 members elected by proportional representation through elections held in conjunction with the general elections every four years. The county council itself elects the county's executive committee.
The president of the committee also holds the title Commissioner of Finance. The president is Aida Hadzialic, of the Social Democratic Party, who previously served as a minister in the Ministry of Education and Research. The members of the executive committee (landstingsstyrelsen) represent both the political majority and the opposition, with responsibility for implementing policies approved by the county council.
Elections
Stockholm County contains two multi-seat constituencies for county council elections. Stockholm Municipality makes up the first constituency while the second makes up the rest of the county.
