The designation was officially abolished with the municipal reform of 1971, when Sweden was subdivided into the Municipalities of Sweden (currently amounting to 290).

Swedish ''köping'' and the English toponym ''chipping'' are also cognates as is the Norwegian word ''kjøpstad'' and the Danish toponymical suffix '' -købing''.
