Mölndal Municipality


Mölndal Municipality is a municipality in Västra Götaland in western Sweden, just south of Gothenburg. Its seat is located in Mölndal, which lies within the Gothenburg urban area, and the whole municipality is part of Metropolitan Gothenburg.
In 1911 a municipalsamhälle named Mölndal was instituted in the municipality of Fässberg. In 1922 Fässberg was made the City of Mölndal. In 1971 it was amalgamated with Kållered and Lindome. At the same time it became a municipality of unitary type, like all others in the country. The municipality prefers, however, to style itself Mölndals stad as a semi-official name whenever legally possible. This usage has no effect on the status of the municipality.
