Knapstad

Knapstad is a place name in Norway, most commonly referring to a village in the municipality of Indre Østfold, Viken county. It is located along the E18 highway.

The name likely originates from the Old Norse word "knappr," meaning a rounded hill or knob, combined with "staðr," meaning place or farm. Therefore, Knapstad can be interpreted as "place by the rounded hill."

Knapstad is known for its rural setting and proximity to larger towns in the Indre Østfold region. While not a major urban center, it serves as a local hub for surrounding agricultural areas and residential communities. The local economy is primarily based on agriculture, forestry, and services catering to the local population.
