==History==
Sollentuna municipality was founded in conjunction with the reform of [[local government]] in Sweden in 1863. However, its boundaries are almost  equivalent to those of [[Sollentuna Parish]],{{citation needed|date=October 2012}} which dates back to the 12th century. Well into the 20th century, Sollentuna was a predominantly rural area.

Modern Sollentuna evolved around the [[railway]] between [[Uppsala]] and [[Stockholm]], inaugurated in 1866. Five of the eight districts that make up the municipality today correspond to railway stations, now operated by [[Stockholm commuter rail]] system. From south to north: [[Helenelund]], [[Tureberg]] (railway station is [[Sollentuna Station]]), [[Häggvik, Sollentuna|Häggvik]], [[Norrviken]] and [[Rotebro]]. Viby is an extension of Norrviken and the two remaining districts— [[Edsberg, Sollentuna|Edsberg]] and Sjöberg—are found along the road to [[Danderyd Municipality|Danderyd]]. Other roads into Sollentuna includes the road from [[Kallhäll]] to Rotebro and the [[European route E4|E 4]] [[motorway]] that approximates the same route as the railway.

Sollentuna received the title of a merchant town (''[[köping]]'') in 1944. Köping status was made obsolete by the municipal reform of 1971.
