There were never 135 cities (by the pre-1971 definition as a type of municipality) at the same time. In 1901 the number was 92. When the last city (Säffle) got its title in 1951 there were 133. In 1968 Öregrund was amalgamated with Östhammar, reducing the number to 132. From 1971 onwards no municipalities have this status and some more of the former cities were merged into other municipalities, as Torshälla into Eskilstuna, Gränna into Jönköping &c. So the total number should be 133. --Muniswede 21:03, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
