Köping
Encyclopedia
This article deals with the Swedish denomination for a market town. For the city, see Köping, Sweden

Köping (cognate
to the English
toponymical name Chipping) was a Swedish
denomination for a market town
. This term was abolished with the municipal reform of 1971, when Sweden was subdivided into the Municipalities of Sweden
(currently amounting to 290).
In medieval times it was the designation of an official market place/market town. As present-day Finland
was then a part of Sweden, the Finnish
word kauppala has the same meaning. The Finnish word kaupunki, borrowed from the Old Norse word for köping, is today the main word for town in Finnish.
In 1863 the first local government
acts were implemented in Sweden. There were two acts, one for towns and one for rural areas. Of the around 2,500 municipalities, 89 had town privileges
and thus had the right to call themselves stad (town). Under the "rural" act there were also eight localities given the status of köping, which positioned them between a rural municipality and a town. The number of localities designated as köping rose dramatically during the 20th century and reached its peak in 1959, when they were 95. Many new settlements during the industrialization of Sweden, as well as some of the suburbs in the metropolitan areas, first received the title of köping and it was also made part of their name. They later grew further and received town privileges, but kept the köping ending of their names. See the list below.
A large-scale merger of Swedish municipalities in 1971 removed the distinctions between towns, market towns and rural municipalities. Many of the former market towns are now seats of municipalities. In contrast to the term stad, köping is seldom used in everyday speech today.
