Grästorp Municipality
Grästorp Municipality () is a municipality in Västra Götaland County in western Sweden. Its seat is located in the town of Grästorp. Grästorp Municipality is located right in the middle of Västra Götaland County, by the shores of Lake Vänern. History In the year 1900 the village Grästorp was detached from Tengene and made a market town (''köping''). The local government reform of 1952 amalgamated it with twelve surrounding municipalities (among them Tengene). The 1971 reform made the term ''köping'' obsolete, thus forming Grästorps kommun without amendment of territory. The area has been inhabited at least since the Viking Age as it contains several runestones. The runestone at the church at Sal has an inscription that reads "''Torgård satte denna sten efter Toke, sin frände''", meaning "Torgård raised this stone for Toke, his kinsman". Localities The seat Grästorp (pop. 3,000) is the only built-up locality with more than 200 inhabitants in this predominantly ...
