Nils Jensen Ytteborg

Nils Jensen Ytteborg (18 September 1792 – 5 June 1858) was a Norwegian craftsman, tanner, businessman, brewer and Member of Parliament in Norway.

[1] He married Ingeborg Marie Woxen (1796–1868) with whom he had two sons, Carl Theodor (1827–1888) and Julius Ferdinand (1830–1910).

[4] From humble beginning as a saddler and tanner, Ytteborg thrived in his craft, and even expanded his source of income by venturing into selling timber and distillery.

His pro-worker initiatives and natural leadership skills had helped in making him as the first craftsman elected as Member of the Norwegian Parliament (1851–1853).

[1][8] In 1958 (100 years after his death) a road in the suburb of Haugenstua in the Oslo district of Stovner was named Garver Ytteborgs vei in memory of him.
