Stockholms Dagblad was established on 2 January 1824 as a newspaper for the Swedish capital.

[1][2] Under the editorship of Jonas Adolf Walldén, the newspaper developed into a content-rich paper chiefly designated for news.

In the 1870s, the editor-in-chief Vilhelm Walldén transformed Stockholms Dagblad into one of Sweden's most influential newspapers.

[4] In 1884, Stockholms Dagblad was purchased by a consortium consisting of Elis Fischer, Gustaf Holm, Axel Lundvall and Axel Weinberg.

The last issue was published on 19 September 1931 and then, the newspaper was merged with Stockholms-Tidningen.
