Skoger is a village located on the border between Buskerud and Vestfold counties, Norway. Of its population of 1,082 as of 2005, 654 were registered as residents of Drammen whereas 428 live in Sande in Vestfold county, Norway.
Historically the area had large forested areas, and much arable land. Reference to Skoger is made in the land register maintained by Bishop Eystein Erlendsson (Biskop Eysteins jordebok). The parish of Skouger was established as a municipality January 1, 1838 under of the law of formannskapsdistrikt. This provision of the Constitution of Norway, required that every parish (Norwegian: prestegjeld) form a local self-government district. Skoger with 1,837 inhabitants merged with Strømsgodset with 731 inhabitants, as well as an uninhabited part of Eiker on January 1, 1844. The enlarged Skoger municipality had a population of 2,568. Until 1889 the name was written Skouger.
Strømsgodset had originally been a small rural annex to the city parish of Bragernes in Drammen. But since this annex belonged to the county of Vestfold, while the city belonged to the county of Buskerud, it had to be established as a local self-government districts of its own on January 1, 1838. The law of formannskapsdistrikt also required a division between cities and rural districts. Due to the small size of this district, it was merged with the larger municipality of Skoger on January 1, 1844.
A part of Skoger was moved to Drammen on 1 January 1870. The rest of Skoger was incorporated into Drammen on 1 January 1964. This entailed a border adjustment by which Skoger became a part of Buskerud county.
The Norse form of the name was Skógar. The name is the plural form of skóg meaning 'woodland, forest'.
