List Of Towns And Cities In Norway
This is a list of towns and cities in Norway. The Norwegian language word means a town or city–there is no distinction between the two words as there is in English. Historically, the designation of town/city was granted by the king, but since 1996 that authority was given to the local Municipal council (Norway), municipal councils for each municipality in Norway. In Norway today, there are 108 towns/cities, but they have no legal authority or powers and they are not an administrative body, it is simply a designation. All local government rests with the municipality which may or may not have a town/city located within it. History Historically, the words (market town), (small seaport), or were used for a town or city. Each of these were granted certain special Town privileges, rights based on their classification and they did hold administrative authority within their borders. A ladested was subordinate to a kjøpstad and over time some of the ladesteds were "upgraded" to t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
