Stockholm takes its name from the capital of Sweden, and the village's beginnings are Swedish too. Swedish settlers founded the community in the 1880s. A commemorative plaque dated July 1, 1995, credits A. J. Stenberg and his wife Svea with naming it.
Stockholm incorporated as a village on June 30, 1905. It lies about 72 kilometres south of Yorkton, along Highways 9 and 22, and today it is home to the municipal office of the Rural Municipality of Fertile Belt No. 183.
The settlers' heritage is still visible in the New Stockholm Lutheran Church, also known as the Swedish Evangelical Lutheran New Stockholm Church, which Swedish immigrants built in 1917 and which remains one of the village's landmarks.
For a decade, from 1997 to 2007, Jody Herperger also ran an FM radio rebroadcaster, CFZY-FM, in the village. It carried commercial top-40 programming and stayed on the air for some years after Yorkton's CFGW-FM began commercial broadcasting.
