What is Municipalities of Sweden?
[[File:SWE-Map Kommuner2007.svg|thumb|Sweden's municipal borders]] The '''municipalities of Sweden''' ({{lang-sv|Sveriges kommuner}}) are the [[local government]] units of [[Sweden]]. There are 290 municipalities in Sweden. The municipalities are responsible for many social issues, like [[school]]s, [[kindergarten]]s and the care for older and disabled people. Since [[1971]], all of Sweden is divided into the same kind of local government units, municipalities. The old town concept was abolished, even if the word town is still in use in everyday language. ==Other websites== {{commonscat-inline|Municipalities in Sweden}} [[Category:Municipalities of Sweden| ]] {{europe-stub}}
