counties of norway - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com (61 words)
Norway is divided into 19 administrative regions, called counties (fylker, singular - fylke, until 1918 known as amter, singular - amt), and 433 municipalities (kommuner).
Oslo is considered as both a county and a municipality.
There is some political disagreement on whether counties are a practical or indeed necessary level of administration.
Counties of Norway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (631 words)
Below is a list of the Norwegian counties as they have been since 1919, with their current administrative centres.
The county numbers are from the official numbering system ISO 3166-2:NO, which follows the coastline from the Swedish border in the southeast to the Russian border in the northeast.
During King Sverre's reign (1184-1202) the hereditary chieftains (in Norwegian herser) were replaced by lendermænd, who were appointed by the king, but exercised the same power (and in many instances were originally from the old aristocracy).
