Rødenes

Rødenes

Rødenes is a former municipality in Østfold county, Norway.

The parish of "Rødenæs" was established as a municipality January 1, 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt). The district of Rømskog was separated from Rødenes as a municipality of its own January 1, 1902. The split left Rødenes with a population of 1 378.

Rødenes was merged with Øymark to form the new municipality Marker January 1, 1964. Before the merger Rødenes had a population of 1 314.

The name

The municipality (originally the parish) was named after the old farm Rødenes, since the first church was built there. The first element is (maybe) derived from Norse "rauðr" 'red', the last element is "nes" n 'headland'.
