In 1971 "old" Hallstahammar (with the status of a köping since 1943) was amalgamated with parts of the dissolved Kolbäck rural municipality to form the present municipality of unitary type.

The municipal slogan is "Bo hos oss" ("Live with us"), which reflects the ambition of the present municipal leadership to boost population figures.
