Sweden has had inhabitants of Finnish ancestry since time immemorial; Stockholm least since the 15th century. Most of them arrived during the second half of the 20th century. More than 400,000 people in Sweden were born in Finland or have at least one parent who was born in Finland.

In 1462, Stockholm's largest taxpayer was Heikki Finne (Finn). Finland was a province of the Swedish Empire from the 13th century to 1809, and migration came in both directions.

Since 2000, the Finns have been one of Sweden's recognized national minorities, together with the Sami people, the Tornedalians, the Romani people and the Jews; see Jewish Stockholm tour.
