The priests in the area complained to the bishop who in 1900 brought the case up with the local council and suggested the form "Jessheim". The name was changed to "Jesseim". In 1920 the railroad changed the spelling to the current form, Jessheim. Facilities and landmarks Jessheim is a center for commerce and regional service functions at Øvre Romerike. ...
