The Stockholm region is home to around 22% of Sweden's total population, and accounts for about 29% of its [[gross domestic product]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Fakta om företagandet i Stockholm – 2012. page 13, Stockholm Business Region website |url=http://www.stockholmbusinessregion.se/Global/N%C3%A4ringslivsservice/Publikationer/Fakta%20om%20f%C3%B6retagandet%20i%20Stockholm%202012.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120719145448/http://www.stockholmbusinessregion.se/Global/N%C3%A4ringslivsservice/Publikationer/Fakta%20om%20f%C3%B6retagandet%20i%20Stockholm%202012.pdf |archive-date=19 July 2012 |access-date=19 May 2012 }}</ref> The geographical notion of "Stockholm" has changed over time. By the turn of the 19th century, Stockholm largely consisted of the area today known as City Centre, roughly {{convert|35|km2|sqmi||abbr=on}} or one-fifth of the current municipal area. In the ensuing decades several other areas were incorporated (such as [[Brännkyrka]] Municipality in 1913, at which time it had 25,000 inhabitants, and [[Spånga]] in 1949). The municipal border was established in 1971; with the exception of Hansta, in 1982 purchased by Stockholm Municipality from Sollentuna Municipality and today a nature reserve.<ref name="SthlmStatistic2006">[https://web.archive.org/web/20060926135005/http://www.stockholm.se/Extern/Templates/Page.aspx?id=76458 Stockholm Statistical Yearbook, 2006 (''Stockholms statistiska årsbok för 2006'')] City of Stockholm website, May 2006.
