Fet is a municipality in the county of Akershus, Norway. The municipality centre is Fetsund.

Fet was established as a municipality January 1, 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt). Rælingen was separated from Fet July 1, 1929.

Geography

Fet is located at the eastern coast of Lake Øyeren, and includes the point at which Glomma enters the lake. The delta that has formed is the largest inland delta in Europe, and reaches the opposite shore of the lake, across its short axis. Timber floating down the river was extracted here before it entered the delta and then taken further by rail. This activity continued until the 1985. Today many of the floating buildings have been preserved and turned into a museum and cultural centre.

Coat-of-arms

The coat-of-arms is from modern times (1986). It shows a hook for log driving.

(See also the coat-of-arms for Åsnes, Jondal, Marker and Nordre Land.)

The name

The name (Old Norse "Fit") is first recorded in 1321 ("a Fit"). It is the word "fit" f "vigorous meadow".
