History
In 1868 Sölvesborg Landsförsamling was created from Sölvesborg Stadsförsamling. In 1951 Sölvesborg Landsförsamling was dissolved and combined with the Stadsförsamling. Before 1880 the places of Ynde and Valjö were transfered from Blekinge län to Kristianstads län. Up to 1889 the main part of the parish was in Blekinge län except for the areas of Ynde and Valjö that belonged to Kristianstads län. As of Jan. 1, 1890 the areas of Ynde and Valjö were transferred over to Blekinge län. From 1890 - 1950 the entire parish belonged to Blekinge län.
