about Fredrikstad

The town Fredrikstad in the county of Østfold, Norway, has 69,867 inhabitants as of January 1., 2004. It straddles the river Glomma where it meets the sea.

Fredrikstad was built at the mouth of Glomma after Sarpsborg (15 km upstream) had burnt down. It was founded in 1567 by king Frederik II, and later even Sarpsborg was rebuilt at its original place.

The town centre is situated on the west bank of Glomma, while the old town on the east bank is northern Europe's best preserved fortified town.

Fredrikstad used to have a large sawmill industry and was an important harbour for timber export, then later on shipbuilding, until the main yard was closed in the 1980s. The main industries are currently various chemical plants and other light industry.
