The ceety haes a population o 87,247 indwallers in 2010,<ref name="scb" /> oot o a municipal tot o 130,050,<ref name="SCB">[http://www.scb.se/Pages/TableAndChart____308469.aspx Folkmängd i Norrköpings kommun den 31 december 2010]</ref> makin it Swaden's tent lairgest ceety an aicht lairgest municipality. The ceety is situated bi the mooth o the river [[Motala ström]], at [[Bråviken]], an inlet o the [[Baltic Sea]]. Watter pouer frae the Motala ström an the guid [[harbour]] wur factors that facilitatit the rapid growthe o this ance industrial ceety, kent for its [[textile]] industry. It haes several nicknames sic as: "Swaden's [[Manchester]]", "[[Beijing|Peking]]" an "Surbullestan" (Surbulle [sour bun] wis a local nickname for the textile workers, an stan is short for Staden, which means The Ceety or The Toun in Swadish) ==History== The ceety haes [[medieval]] foondations bi [[settler]]s aroond the Norrköping twin ceety wi Linköping Motala stream estuary, who uised the faws an rapids tae pouer thair mills. The stream wis an aa full o fish sic as [[salmon]]. Exact dates are uncertain, but thare are mentions o a [[Kirk]] in the 12t century. It wis dedicatit tae [[Saunt Olaf]], Norawa's [[patron]]. The first trace o the ceety's name is frae 1283, when walthy David Appelgren, Laird o Östergötland donatit his rights o salmon fishing tae the [[Skänninge]] monastery. The toun is estimatit tae hae received [[ceety status in Swaden|ceety status]] in the early 14t century, awtho nae written documents exist prior tae a document frae 1384. This document, signed bi [[Albrekt o Swaden]] is stored in the ceety archive the day. [[Köping]] means thare wis a mercat thare. The ceety wis the location o several battles in the ensuin centuries. As a consequence, nothing o the medieval Norrköping remains the day. Durin the [[Northren Seiven Years' War]] (1563–1570), the entire soothren pairt o Norrköping wis burnt. It wis rebuilt bi [[John III o Swaden]], who designed the current street pattern. In 1618, a wappen industry wis established bi superveesion o [[Gustavus Adolphus]]. The harbour an aa attractit ships due tae its proximity tae the industries o [[Finspång]]. In addition tae the wappen industry, a lairge scale industry o [[textile]] wis an aa initiatit. An important benefactor wis the industrial man [[Louis De Geer (1587-1652)]]. At De Geer's daith, Norrköping haed 6,000 indwallers an wis Sweden's seicont lairgest ceety. The ceety again burnt in 1655, an again in 1719 durin the [[Great Northren War]] when the Roushies burnt it tae the grund. Stanes frae the Johannisborg castle wur uised tae big new hooses, an the day anerlie a few stanes remain. Durin the 18t century it wis rebuilt an several industries suin got a stranghauld: In the 1740s, Norrköping boostit three [[sugar refineries]]; in the 1750s the lairge scale influential [[snus]] industry wis established. Frae this time stems the ceety kirks o Saunt Olof an Saunt Hedvig, an several ither auld hooses. Norrköping's importance again flourished. In 1769 the Swadish [[Parliament o Swaden|Riksdag]] assembled thare. In 1800 the keeng [[Gustav IV o Swaden]] wis crouned in the Kirk o Saunt Olof. The ceety again suffered fires in 1822 an 1826. Thereefter widden hooses wur banned. In 1841 a ship industry wis initiatit as a branch o [[Motala Verkstad]] in [[Motala]]. In 1850 the industry haed ower 600 employees makin it Swaden's lairgest ship industry at the time. Durin the remainin 19t century, the industries kept expandin. The aurie bi the Motala Stream wis developed further wi the construction o a [[cotton]] refinery, an a [[paper mill]] wis constructit in 1854, specializin in newspaper, an is still the day exportin tae customers aroond the warld. The industry, includin textile manufacturers, an aa expandit intae the 20t century. In 1950 a tot o 54 factories haed 6,600 employees in toun. Bi 1956, housomeivver, 18 o them haed been closed due tae competeetion frae kintras abroad wi lawer wages, sic as [[Italy]] an [[Japan]]. In 1970 anerlie 10 factories an 1,200 employees remained. In that year, the renouned [[Holmen]] paper mill, wi its 350 years lang history, annoonced is closur, an anither 900 fowk wur let go. Tae coonter the effects, several govrenmental authorities wur relocatit tae Norrköping frae [[Stockholm]]. See an aa [[Braviken Paper Mill]]. As o 2002, Norrköping is nou seein a revival, as a centre o cultur an eddication.
