Boroughs Of Stockholm
Municipalities in Sweden are in some rare cases divided into smaller districts (sometimes translated ''boroughs'') or urban districts, and are sometimes assigned administrative boards responsible for certain areas of governance in their respective areas. These districts are not specified by national Swedish law, but rather are created by individual municipalities, and thus the Swedish names of these districts vary greatly from municipality to municipality, including kommundelar, stadsdelar, stadsdelområden, primärområden, or stadsdelsnämndsområden. The degree of administrative autonomy of these districts similarly varies greatly, but is normally very limited. On 1 January 2016 a new form of division of Sweden was introduced. This division is called ''Districts'' or '' Registration districts'', in Swedish ''Distrikt''. These are used for certain administrative purposes by some national authorities, such as land ownership and statistics. This is not the same as the ''urban dist ...

Postal Codes In Sweden
For the purposes of directing mail, Sweden is divided into a number of postcode areas. The Swedish postcode ( sv, postnummer) system is administered by the Swedish Mail Service ( sv, Posten AB) on behalf of the Swedish Post and Telecom Authority ( sv, Post- och telestyrelsen). History Until 1968, mail in Sweden was sorted only according to geographic location, which meant that postal workers had to learn all mail centers in Sweden, and what particular mail trains served those places. In 1967, it was decided that postcodes would be introduced in Sweden as of May 12, 1968. Since then, the postcode system has been essentially the same, but a slight reform was carried out during the mid-1990s as all remaining mail terminals were equipped with automatic mail sorting machines. In 2008, Sweden was divided into more than 16,100 postcode areas. Post- oc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Telephone Numbers In Sweden
In Sweden, the area codes are, including the leading ''0'', two, three or four digits long, with larger towns and cities having shorter area codes permitting a larger number of telephone numbers in the eight to ten digits used (including the leading '0'). Before the 1990s, ten-digit numbers were very rare, but they have become increasingly common because of the deregulation of telecommunications, the new 112 emergency number (which required change of all numbers starting with 11), and the creation of a single area code for the Greater Stockholm area. No subscriber number is shorter than five digits. The longest subscriber numbers have eight digits (only in the Stockholm area). History The first automatic telephony in Sweden was operating in 1924 within a small area in Stockholm. Area codes were introduced around 1935 for usage in automatic national telephony. is a Nordic country located on ... Telephone numbeukujuuors ...
