Akershus, County of Eastern Norway
Akershus extends across a varied landscape near Oslo, encompassing urban centers, agricultural lands, forests, and numerous lakes throughout its territory.
The county transformed from a medieval administrative region that included most of Eastern Norway into its current form, established in 1919 with Oslo as its capital.
The region maintains historical records and genealogical documents that detail Norwegian family histories, while integrating modern administrative functions with traditional community values.
The region contains 22 municipalities connected by major highways E6 and E18, with Oslo Airport at Gardermoen serving as a primary transportation hub.
Akershus includes Eidsvoll, the location where the Norwegian Constitution was signed in 1814, marking the foundation of modern Norwegian democracy.
