FREDRIKSTAD (FREDERIKSTAD)

This article appears in Volume V11, Page 69 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FRA-GAE
FREDRIKSTAD (FREDERIKSTAD) , a seaport and manufacturing town of Norway in Smaalenene amt (county), 58 m. S. by E. of Christiania by the Christiania-Gothenburg railway. Pop. (1900) 14,553. It lies at the mouth and on the eastern shore of Christiania fjord, occupying both banks of the
great
  river Glommen, which, descending from the richly-wooded
district
  of Osterdal, floats down vast quantities of timber. The new town on the right bank is therefore a centre of the timber export
trade
 , this place being the principal port in Norway for the export of pit-props, planed boards, and other varieties of timber. There is also a
great
  industry in the making of red bricks, owing to the expansion of Christiania, Gothenburg and other towns. Granite is quarried and exported. Besides the large number of'saw and planing mills, there are shipbuilding yards,
engine
  and boiler works,
cotton
  and woollen mills, and factories for acetic acid and naphtha. The harbour, which can be entered by vessels drawing 14 ft., is kept open in winter by an ice-breaker. In the vicinity is the
island
  Hankb, the most fashionable
Norwegian
  seaside resort. The old town on the left bank was founded by Frederick II. in 1567. It was for a long time strongly fortified, and in 1716 Charles XII. of Sweden made a vain attempt to capture it.
