Glemmen

Glemmen is a parish and former municipality with the city of Fredrikstad, Østfold county, Norway.

The parish of Glemminge was established as a municipality 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt).

The island of Kråkerøy was separated from Glemmen to form a municipality of its own 1 January 1908.

The municipality (originally the parish) was named after the old farm Glemmen (Norse Glymheimar), since the first church was built on its ground.

The name of the (supposed) brook is derived from the verb glymja 'rumble, make noise'.
