History

[edit]
Vigmostad Church in 1953

The village was the administrative centre of the old Vigmostad Municipality which existed from 1911 until its dissolution in 1964.[3]

Name

[edit]

The village (and the parish) is named after the old Vigmostad farm (Old Norse: Vígmundarstaðir), since that is the location of Vigmostad Church. The first element of the name is the old male name Vígmundr (river-mouth) or Vígmarr (river-mare(sea)) and the last element is the nominative plural form of the word staðr which means "homestead" or "farm".[3][4]
