Easter atmosphere over Lillesand, Norway.

            The village of Lillesand grew up significantly during the 17th century around its natural harbour. In 1821, the village area was granted the status as a ladested (a sea port with special trading rights). In 1838, the new formannskapsdistrikt law established each parish in Norway as a self-governing local municipality and each ladested was separate from its surrounding parish. This meant that Lillesand became self-governing like the new civil municipalities. Later, in 1952, the town became classified as a bykommune (town-municipality).
During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1962, the town of Lillesand (population: 1,041) was merged with the neighboring municipalities of Høvåg (population: 1,330) and Vestre Moland (population: 2,454) and the Gitmark farm area (population: 22) in the neighboring municipality of Eide. Together, this new municipality was called Lillesand, but it lost is status as a bykommune (town) because of this merger. In 1996, the law changed and this enabled the municipal council of Lillesand to declare town status for Lillesand once again.
