In 1924, Kristianopel's municipal society was established in the county municipality, although it is unclear whether the city statutes were applied. In the census, Kristianopel is also not called a municipal society, but is called Kristianopel's köping.[9] Kristianopel's distinctive status disappeared on 1 January 1952 (according to a decision on 14 December 1951) when the town was no longer counted as köping.[10] At the same time, the town merged with the county municipality into Jämjö county municipality. This in turn amounted to Karlskrona municipality in 1974.
In 1890, Kristianopel had 137 inhabitants and in 1932 it had 102 inhabitants.
On 30 April 1981 a stampede took place in Kristianopel prior to a concert with Gyllene Tider. 3 people died as a result.[11]
In October 2015 Karlskrona Municipality decided to open a refugee camp in Kristianopel, giving shelter to 80 people.[12]
