Norway Norway History and Government History: The origin of the first inhabitants of Norway is uncertain, but it seems likely that they travelled north from central Europe. The known history of the country begins in the 9th century AD and is based on the Viking sagas, supported by archaeological evidence, and the explorations of Viking adventurers who colonised the Scottish islands, parts of the Scottish and Irish mainlands, Iceland and (for a while) Greenland. Norway itself was divided into a number of fiefdoms; the unification process began with King Harald Fairhair, who defeated the major northern tribes at the battle of Hafrsfjord (near Stavanger) in 872. Over the next two centuries, Christianity gradually spread into the country, supplanting traditional beliefs in Norse gods. By 1060, the country was unified. From 1200 onwards, the twin powers of church and crown took control of the whole country. The arrival of bubonic plague (The Black Death) in Norway in 1350 killed half the Norwegian population and drastically weakened the power of its institutions. The Norwegians and Swedes had already established a joint monarchical structure which lasted between 1319 and 1343. Following the ravages of the Black Death, Norway entered into a political union with Denmark in 1380 through intermarriage between the countries’ ruling families. The alliance, cemented by a formal treaty in 1450, was intended to be one of equals; in practice, Denmark was the dominant partner, and in 1536, Norway became formally subservient to the Danish crown. Thus, when the 17th-century rivalry between Denmark and Sweden – the two dominant powers in the Baltic – broke out into warfare, the vanquished Danes handed over parts of Norwegian territory to Sweden.

Home Background articles Peaceful Separation The Events of 1905 ... The 100th Anniversary of the Foreign Service SEARCH Background articles The Struggle about Form of Government in Norway For a while there was much discussion and speculation about who could fill the Norwegian throne, when Oscar II turned down the Bernadotte offer and before the Danish Prince Carl was chosen as the best candidate. Ultimately, Prince Carl was the perfect choice, as he was of Scandinavian stock, understood Norwegian, had a two-year-old son who would be a completely Norwegian Crown Prince, and – last but not least – he was married to the English Princess Maud. Thus he would have King Edward VII as his father-in-law, and Norway would achieve good relations with and be able to count on support from Great Britain. On 25 November, Prince Carl and his family arrived in Norway, and were met in Kristiania by cheering crowds, which had turned out in the snow. He swore allegiance to the Constitution in the Storting on 27 November, was crowned King of Norway in Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim on 22 June 1906, and took the name Haakon VII.

After annexing an unincorporated gore in 1821, it swapped land with Paris (1859, 1861). Apparently the town was not named for the Scandinavian country. A clerical correction of the originally proposed Norage, the Indian word for falls, resulted in the name Norway. Norway has a substantial number of interesting, unique homes not typical of most Maine towns. Pennesseewassee Lake, at five miles in length, is the largest of several in the town and abuts the main village and contributes mightily to the recreational opportunities in the area.
