During the 19th century, the Swedish language policy was directed against the Finnish language to avoid the Russian influence in the area, insofar as Finland formed a part of the Russian Empire.

 Municipalities of Sweden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
When the swedish court system was reformed in the late sixties, most of the executive responsibilities of the courts were transferred to the county administrative boards, while executive power succesively became vested in the Treasury Committee (Swedish: Drätselkammare), which since its establishmant 1862 overtook most of the executive power from the burgomaster and the court.

One of few Swedish municipalities that dare to use the burgomasterial title on the presiding officer of the executive body is Solna.
