Täby (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈtɛ̌ːbʏ]) is a place in Sweden, located in Stockholm County. It used to be a separate "locality," which means a defined urban area. In 2024, about 76,700 people lived there.
Since 2016, Täby has become part of the larger Stockholm urban area. This means it's now considered a part of the big city of Stockholm by Statistics Sweden, which collects information about the country.
Täby is the main town, or "seat," of Täby Municipality. A municipality is like a local government area. Täby also used to stretch into small parts of two other municipalities: Danderyd Municipality (specifically the Enebyberg area) and a tiny bit of Sollentuna Municipality.
However, a different part called Täby kyrkby, located in the northern part of Täby Municipality, is actually part of the Vallentuna urban area.
