  • Aker was a former independent municipality in Akershus, Norway, that constitutes the vast majority of the territory of the modern city of Oslo. The name originally belonged to a farm which was located near the current Old Aker Church. The church in turn became the source of the name of the parish and later municipality as well as Akershus Fortress, the main fief and main county of Akershus which included most of Eastern Norway until 1919, the smaller county of Akershus, and numerous institutions within this area. Aker municipality was in terms of population by far the largest municipality of Akershus county and surrounded the capital city of Christiania (renamed Oslo in 1925) until 1948; Aker was 27 times larger than the capital it surrounded. In the late 19th century Aker ceded some of its territory to Christiania, and in 1948 Aker merged completely with Oslo municipality to create the modern, vastly enlarged Oslo municipality. The merger was unpopular in Aker, which at the time was an affluent suburban community. The Aker name remains in use in two districts of Oslo, Vestre Aker and Nordre Aker, which are only a small part of former Aker municipality. (en)
  • Aker var ett tidigare härad (herred) i Akershus fylke, och är sedan den 1 januari 1948 en del av Oslo. Häradet omslöt den tidigare Oslo kommun helt, och sträckte sig fram till 1858 ända in till i väst, Hausmannsgate-Nybrua i norr och Akerselva i öster. Större överföringar gjordes till Oslo 1859 och 1878, och mindre gjordes 1938 och 1946. Häradet omfattade vid sammanläggningen 1948 de fyra sockenkommunerna Ullern, Vestre Aker, Østre Aker socken och Nordstrands socken och hade en area på 437 km² och 143 163 invånare. Namnet, från fornnordiskans akr, 'åker', är ursprungligen namnet på två gårdar, Store och Lille Aker, den förstnämnda vid nuvarande . (sv)
