Rolfstorp

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rolfstorp is a village and former parish in Varberg Municipality, Sweden. The name is formed out of Rolf (a male name) and thorpe (a new settlement). The latter part makes it likely that the village got its name during the 11th century to 13th century.

Rolfstorp has a population of 502 (2005).
