Larkollen
Larkollen is a village in Moss municipality, Norway. Its population is 1,382. Larkollen was the landfall on the main route between Oslo (then called Christiania) and Copenhagen for several centuries. The lee side of the islands Sletter, Eldøya, and Kollen south and west of Larkollen was an easily accessible harbor in all kinds of wind, which also was easy to defend. Sometime in the early 19th century the landfall was moved north to Jeløya outside of Moss. In the early 20th century Larkollen, which today is known as a sleepy suburb for Moss, became a prime summer destination for well-to-do families from Oslo and Fredrikstad. The summer houses built by these families still dominate the coastline and the islands at Larkollen. From then until about 1980, two summer hotels operated in Larkollen. In 2010 only one hotel remains, which was torn down. A new one is called the Støtvig hotel after the valley that lies near there. Anthon B. Nilsen, a wealthy sawmill owner from Fredrikst ...

Municipal Council (Norway)
A municipal council is the legislative body of a municipality or local government area. Depending on the location and classification of the municipality it may be known as a city council, town council, town board, community council, rural council, village council, or board of aldermen. Australia Because of the differences in legislation between the states, the exact definition of a city council varies. However, it is generally only those local government areas which have been specifically granted city status (usually on a basis of population) that are entitled to refer to themselves as cities. The official title is "Corporation of the City of ______" or similar. Some of the urban areas of Australia are governed mostly by a single entity (see Brisbane and other Queensland cities), while others may be controlled by a multitude of much smaller city councils. Also, some significant urban areas can be under the jurisdiction of otherwise rural local governments. Periodic re-ali ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
