Borge, Østfold

Borge is a parish and former municipality in Østfold county, Norway.

Today it is located in the northeast part of Fredrikstad municipality, near the border with Sarpsborg.

In 1951 a part of Borge with 53 inhabitants was moved to Fredrikstad municipality, and on 1 January 1964 the properties Gansrød and Ulfeng with 30 inhabitants followed the same way whereas the majority of Torsnes was reunited with Borge.

The rest of Borge (together with Kråkerøy, Onsøy and Rolvsøy) was merged with the city of Fredrikstad January 1, 1994.

[1] The municipality (originally the parish) was named after the farm Borge (Norse Borgar), since the first church was built on its ground.
