Kråkstad is a village and former municipality in Ski municipality, Akershus county, Norway. The parish of ''Kraakstad'' was established as a municipality January 1, 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt). Ski was separated from Kråkstad July 1, 1931 - and the rest of Kråkstad was merged with Ski January 1, 1964. The village has 839 inhabitants (2006), and a train station on Indre Østfoldbanen. The Norwegian footballer Martin Andresen grew up in this village. Members of the black metal band Mayhem lived in a house near the village in the early 1990s. There are some remains of an old hillfort in the forest above Vientjern (a small lake), a few kilometers outside Kråkstad. ==Etymology== The municipality (originally the parish) was named after the old farm Kråkstad (Norse ''Krákustaðir''), since the first church was built there. The first element is probably an old rivername ('' *Kráka''), the last element is ''staðir'' 'homestead, farm'. The meaning of the (hypothetical) rivername is 'crow-river' (the river sounding like a crow'?). Until 1921 the name was written ''Kraakstad''. 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「Kråkstad」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
