Torsnes is a former municipality in Østfold county, Norway. It was created by a split from Borge on 1 January 1910. At that time Torsnes had a population of 1,538. On 1 January 1964 the properties Gansrød and Ulfeng, with 30 inhabitants, were incorporated into Fredrikstad while the rest of Torsnes, with 1,274 inhabitants, was reunited with Borge. On 1 January 1994, Borge was incorporated into Fredrikstad. The Old Norse form of the name was ''Þórsnes'', meaning " Thor's headland". The neighbouring island has the name ''Ullerøy'', from the name of the god ''Ullr''. An old farm in the parish, close to the church site, has the name ''Tose'' or ''Thorsø''. This is derived from Old Norse ''Þórshof'', a compound of ''Þórr'' (Thor) and ''hof'', meaning "Thor's temple". == References == * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Torsnes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
