Botkyrka Municipality (<phonos file="sv-Botkyrka.ogg">Botkyrka</phonos> Script error: No such module "Lang".) is a municipality in Stockholm County in east central Sweden, not far from the capital Stockholm. Its seat is located in the town of Tumba.
In 1971 Grödinge was merged with Botkyrka and in 1974 Salem was added. The Salem part was split off again in 1983, and a new Salem Municipality was formed.
History
The municipality is named after Saint Botvid, a Christian missionary during the 12th century. Saint Botvid is shown on the seal and coat of arms of Botkyrka Municipality, where he carries an axe and a fish. Another remnant of Botkyrka's Christian medieval history is the Botkyrka church, made of stone.
Politically the municipality is primarily Social Democratic, that has governed Botkyrka for a long period except 3 years in the early 1990s. However, with fewer seats the party now governs together with The Green Party, and The Left Party. There have also been several local parties. For a long period a local party called Botkyrkapartiet (The Botkyrka Party) has held several seats. A party was also active from mid 1980s to mid 1990s with only one purpose - to prevent the exploitation of the small airfield, F18, in Tullinge to become a commercial airport in the 1980s. In the election 2010 a local party for the area of Tullinge got 6 seats on the agenda of separating Tullinge from Botkyrka as a separate municipality.[citation needed]
Botkyrka has two local, weekly, newspapers called "Mitt i Botkyrka" (Middle of Botkyrka) and "Södra Sidan" (South side). They are delivered free of charge to all households.[citation needed]
The Swedish hip hop group The Latin Kings raps about life in Botkyrka in several of their songs.[citation needed]
In its December 2015 report, Police in Sweden placed the Hallunda and Norsborg districts in the most severe category of urban areas with high crime rates.[3] In its 2017 report, Police in Sweden added the Alby and Fittja districts to the category.[4] In 2023 Storvreten was added to the list as well.
Battle of Botkyrka
Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote". On 31 August 1568, a battle between John III, Duke Charles, and Eric XIV took place in Botkyrka. Despite his inferior forces, the battle resulted in a victory for Eric XIV's army, and forced John and Charles to flee.[5][6]
Demographics
The northern and eastern parts of the municipality are in the contiguous Stockholm urban area. Tumba forms a locality (tätort) of its own (which partly is in Salem Municipality). Vårsta is in the central part. The southern half of the municipality is mostly rural.
