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.
Still marked by its industrial past, the politics was historically dominated by the Social Democratic Party, and the industry by the harbour and iron works.
