Aust-Agder (German East Agder ) was a province ( Fylke ) in Norway and belonged to the part of Sørlandet . It had a total area of 9,158 km² (of which a land area of 8,314 km²). To the east was Fylke Telemark on Skagerrak near Gjernestangen between Kragerø and Risør. In the west, Vest-Agder was along the Kvåsefjord between Lillesand and Kristiansand . Rogaland was also to the west, north of Vest-Agder . Aust-Agder was the eastern part of the historical Agder Province . The Agder at that time roughly corresponds to the current Fylke Agder.
Before the reform of 1919, the province was called Nedenes amt (also Nedenæs ) and was divided into the two bailiwicks of Nedenes and Robygdelaget (or Råbyggelaget ). Nedenes was the name of a homestead on the Nid River that served as the seat of the bailiff.
On January 1, 2020, Aust-Agder merged with Vest-Agder to form the new Fylke Agder. The basis for the merger was a resolution of the Storting on June 8, 2017, which provided for a reduction to eleven areas as part of a regional reform .
The capital of the province was the city of Arendal ; the most important and longest river was the Otra with a length of 245 km .
