Editing Stange (section)

==History==
Archeological finds indicate agricultural settlements in the area well before the [[Viking Age]]. Since the shortest route from the south to [[Hamar]] went through the area, there have also been trade and hospitality there since time immemorial. Stange has its own historical association that publishes articles, short research topics, as well as authoritative works on the area's history.
