Oxelösund Municipality (Oxelösunds kommun) is a municipality in Södermanland County in southeast Sweden. Its seat is located in the city of Oxelösund.
In 1950 the Nikolai Rural municipality was dissolved. One part formed the then City of Oxelösund, one of the last newly created cities of Sweden. The rest of Nikolai was incorporated into the neighbouring City of Nyköping. In 1971 the city became a unitary municipality without addition of territory, and it is with its 35.75 km² one of Sweden's smallest municipalities.
[edit] Geography
It covers a peninsula in the Baltic Sea, and borders by land only to Nyköping Municipality.
Still marked by its industrial past, the politics is dominated by the Social Democratic Party, and the industry by the harbour and iron works.
