History
Helsingborg Municipality is a municipality in Skåne County (Malmöhus County before 1997) in Sweden. Its seat is located in the city of Helsingborg, which is Sweden's eighth largest city. Between 1912 and 1971 the name of the town was officially spelled Hälsingborg but then the spelling was changed back to the older version when the present municipality was created in 1971 through the uniting of the Town of Hälsingborg with four surrounding rural municipalities. Since the 1990s the municipality again styles itself Helsingborgs stad. This usage is only nominal and has no effect on the status of the municipality.
