The present municipality was formed in 1971 when Kungsör and Kung Karl (from which Kungsör had been detached as a market town (köping) in 1907) were amalgamated
Kungsör is located at the western end of lake Mälaren. The landscape is open, dominated by fields and meadows.
Historically, the town grew around the Royal Mansion that King Gustav Vasa had built in the 16th century. Parts of the mansion are still preserved and open for visits. It is located on a cape into the Mälaren.
