Everything about S Rlandet totally explained
Sørlandet (lit. southern land, usually translated to Southern Norway in english) is the informal name of the geographical
region (
landsdel) of the
Skagerrak coast of southern
Norway consisting of the two counties (fylker),
Vest-Agder and
Aust-Agder. The total combined area of Vest-Agder and Aust-Agder is 6368 sq. mi. or 16493 sq. km.
Origin and use of the concept
The name, and modern concept of this part of the country considered as a separate region, was introduced as late as
1902 by the local author
Wilhelm Krag. Before this, the area was considered part of
Vestlandet ("western land"). Sørlandet coincides roughly with the historic petty kingdom of
Agder.
Occasionally, adjacent parts of the county of
Rogaland and
Telemark might be considered part of this region, as well.
If defined as an
informal region, Sørlandet is perhaps more properly defined as the
Skagerrak coastal belt, thus excluding the inland valleys to the north.
Coastal region
About 80% of the population of the two counties live along the coast, which has the warmest climate as well as offering quick access to the rich fishing grounds and maritime roads of the Skagerrak. The coastal towns of Sørlandet, from west to east, are:
