Name
The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Konsmo farm (Old Norse: Konungsmór), since the first church was built there. The name is a corruption of Kongsmoen which means King's moor.[1][2]
History
The municipality of Konsmo was established on 1 January 1911 when Nord-Audnedal municipality was divided into Konsmo (population: 782) and Vigmostad (population: 923). On 1 January 1964, Konsmo was merged with Grindheim and the districts of Ågedal and Midtbø in Bjelland to create the new municipality of Audnedal. Before the merger Konsmo had a population of 712.[3]
