own in 1842. The rural municipality of Aker was merged with Oslo on 1 January 1948 (and
simultaneously transferred from Akershus county to Oslo county). Furthermore, Oslo shares
several important functions with Akershus county.In addition is Marka (1,610 residents, 301.1
km2), that is administered by several boroughs; and Sentrum (1,471 residents, 1.8 km2) that is
partially administered by St. Hanshaugen, and in part directly by the city council. As of 27
February 2020, there were 2,386 residents who were not allocated to a borough.During the
Viking Age, the area that includes modern Oslo was located in Viken, the northernmost province
of Denmark. Control over the area shifted between Danish and Norwegian kings in the Middle
Ages, and Denmark continued to claim the area until 1241.After being destroyed by a fire in
1624, during the reign of King Christian IV, a new city was built closer to Akershus Fortress and
named Christiania in the king’s honour. The old site east of the Aker river was not abandoned,
however, and the village of Oslo remained as a suburb outside the city gates. The suburb called
Oslo was eventually included in the city proper. In 1925 the name of the suburb was transferred
to the whole city,[why?] while the suburb was renamed “Gamlebyen”, literally “the Old town”, to
avoid confusion.[30][31][32] The Old Town is an area within the administrative district Gamle
Oslo. The previous names are reflected in street names like Oslo gate (Oslo street)and Oslo
hospital.The origin of the name Oslo has been the subject of much debate. It is nigh-certainly
derived from Old Norse and was—in all probability—originally the name of a large farm at
Bjørvika, while the meaning of that name is disputed. Modern linguists generally interpret the
original Óslo, Áslo or Ánslo as either “meadow at the foot of a hill” or “meadow consecrated to
the Gods”, with both considered equally likely.The origin of the name Oslo has been the subject

Norway (1299–1319). He was the first king to reside permanently in the city, and it has been
regarded as the capital city of Norway since his reign. He also started the construction of the
Akershus Fortress and the Oslo Kongsgård.
The Black Death came to Norway in 1349 and, like other cities in Europe, the city suffered
greatly. The churches’ earnings from their land dropped so much that the Hanseatic traders
dominated the city’s foreign trade in the 15th century.
In 1380, Norway was the weaker part in a personal union with Denmark, and Oslo’s role was
reduced to that of provincial administrative centre, with the monarchs residing in
Copenhagen.Over the years, fires destroyed significant parts of the city multiple times, as many
of the city’s buildings were built entirely of wood. After the fourteenth calamity, in 1624, which
lasted for three days, Christian IV of Denmark decided that the old city should not be rebuilt
again. His men built a network of roads across the bay in Akershagen near Akershus Castle. He
demanded that all citizens move their shops and workplaces to the newly built city of
“Christiania”, named in his honor.In 1814 the former provincial town of Christiania became the
capital of the independent Kingdom of Norway, when the union with Denmark was dissolved and
replaced by a personal union with Sweden. Several state institutions were established and the
city’s role as a capital initiated a period of rapidly increasing population. The government of this
new state needed buildings for its expanding administration and institutions. Several important
buildings and landmarks were erected in the 19th century, including the Royal Palace
(1825-1848), the Bank of Norway (1828), the Storting (1861-1866), the University, the National
Theatre and the Stock Exchange. Among the world-famous artists who lived here during this
period were Henrik Ibsen and Knut Hamsun (the latter was awarded the Nobel Prize for
literature).The municipality developed new areas such as Ullevål garden city (1918–1926) and
Torshov (1917–1925). City Hall was constructed in the former slum area of Vika from 1931 to
1950. The municipality of Aker was incorporated into Oslo in 1948, and suburbs were
developed, such as Lambertseter (from 1951). Aker Brygge was constructed on the site of the
former shipyard Akers Mekaniske Verksted, from 1982 to 1998.Norway was invaded by
Germany on 9 April 1940. Efforts to stop the invasion, most notably the sinking of Blücher,
delayed the occupation of Oslo for a few hours which allowed King Haakon to escape the city.
Oslo remained occupied throughout the war until Germany capitulated in 1945. During this time,
the occupying troops were harried by saboteurs in acts of resistance. On 31 December 1944,
allied bombers missed their intended target and hit a tram, resulting in 79 civilian deaths.
