The historic district of Stockholm is really much of the inner city "within the tollbooths", the area that encircles the city's 17th century extent. But it's the medieval "Gamla stan", or "Old Town", that people think of as the historic district of Stockholm.

The Old Town is also called "The Town Between the Bridges" and covers three islands at the center of the city. It's where the town was founded in the 1200's and where most of the brick buildings stood until the 1600's when the population started growing quickly.

But Gamla stan isn't the only historic district in Stockholm. Other notable areas are Mariaberget, with well preserved working class 18th century architecture, and the wooden cottages of Katarina on Södermalm.
