Norwegian Counties 

Note: From 1662, a county was known as an amt and, from 1 Jan 1919, as a fylke. Accordingly the title of a governor was amtmann, then fylkesmann (plural -menn). Before 1919 there were also units called stift (diocese, coextensive with bishoprics), grouping multiple counties, whose governor was a stiftamtmann (diocesan governor)(plural -menn).
