'''Oddernes''' is a [[List of boroughs of Kristiansand|borough]] in the [[Kristiansand (town)|city of Kristiansand]] which lies in the municipality of [[Kristiansand]] in [[Agder]] county, [[Norway]]. The borough covers eastern Kristiansand on the east side of the [[Topdalsfjorden]] and the [[Varodd Bridge]]. The borough includes the former municipalities of [[Randesund (municipality)|Randesund]] and [[Tveit (municipality)|Tveit]].

The borough (originally the [[prestegjeld|parish]]) is named after the old ''Oddernæs'' farm ([[Old Norse]]: ''Otruness''). The first part of the name comes from its location along the [[Otra]] river, and ''nes'' means [[headland|peninsula]], so the peninsula along the Otra river.<ref name="snl">{{cite web|publisher=[[Store norske leksikon]]|language=no|url=http://www.snl.no/Oddernes|title=Oddernes|access-date=2009-11-10}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|title=Norske gaardnavne: Lister og Mandals amt|edition=9|author-link=Oluf Rygh|last=Rygh|first=Oluf|publisher=W.

===Districts and neighborhoods=== |

The parish of ''Oddernæs'' was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see [[formannskapsdistrikt]]). According to the 1835 census, the municipality had a population of 2,373.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rhd.uit.no/dok/nos10.html|title=Hjemmehørende folkemengde Vest-Agder 1801-1960|author=Registreringssentral for historiske data|publisher=[[University of Tromsø]]|language=Norwegian}}</ref> On 31 December 1893, the area of [[Randesund]] was separated from Oddernes to contstitute a municipality of its own. The split left Oddernes with 3,076 inhabitants. |
|||
Oddernes borough is divided up into four districts. Each district is also divided up into neighborhoods. |
|||
On 1 July 1921, the area of Lund (population: 2,164) was moved from Oddernes to Kristiansand, constituting a new [[borough]] there. On 1 January 1965, the rest of Oddernes was incorporated into Kristiansand, along with the neighboring municipalities of Randesund and [[Tveit]]. Prior to the merger, Oddernes had a population of 18,668.<ref name=Dag>{{cite journal|first=Dag|last=Jukvam|publisher=[[Statistics Norway|Statistisk sentralbyrå]]|title=Historisk oversikt over endringer i kommune- og fylkesinndelingen|year=1999|format=PDF|url=http://www.ssb.no/emner/00/90/rapp_9913/rapp_9913.pdf|language=Norwegian}}</ref> |

Until 1965, Oddernes was its own municipality, but so was Randesund and Tveit. So Oddernes wasn't exactly located as it is today. In fact only the part Hånes was a part of Oddernes from the parts of Oddernes today. Other places in Kristiansand that was a part of Oddernes was the entire Vågsbygd borough (except [[Voiebyen]]), Hellemyr, Strai, Mosby, Lund and Justvik. Oddernes Church is located at Lund and still has the same name today. While Oddernes High School, located in [[Vågsbygd sentrum|Vågsbygd Centrum]] changed the name to [[Vågsbygd High School]]. |
