Skoger
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Skoger is a village located on the border between Buskerud and Vestfold counties, Norway. Of its population (2005) of 1,082, 654 are registered as residents of Drammen whereas 428 live in Sande, Vestfold.
The surrounding area used to be a municipality, formed in 1837 as Skoger formannskapsdistrikt and located in Buskerud amt. In 1843 Skoger was enlarged when Strømsgodset with its 731 inhabitants as well as an uninhabited part of Eger were incorporated into the municipality . The enlarged Skoger municipality had a population of 2,568 and was moved to the county of Larvik og Jarlsberg.
On 1 January 1870 a district of Skoger with its 1 363 inhabitants was moved to Drammen.
On 1 January 1964 the rest of Skoger, at that time with 14 672 inhabitants, was incorporated into Drammen. This entailed a border adjustment as Skoger once again became a part of Buskerud county.
