Nord-Audnedal (Nord-Undal) is a former municipality in Vest-Agder county, Norway. It is located along the river Audna in the Audnedalen valley in the southern part of the present-day municipality of Audnedal and the northern part of the present-day municipality of Lindesnes. The administrative centre was the village of Vigmostad where Vigmostad Church is located.[1]
History
The municipality of Nord-Undal was established in 1845 when the old municipality of Undal was divided into Sør-Undal (population: 3,893) and Nord-Undal (population: 802). The name Undal was changed to Audnedal around 1900. On 1 January 1911, Nord-Audnedal ceased to exist when it was divided into two separate municipalities: Konsmo (population: 782) and Vigmostad (population: 923).[2]
