Founded officially in 1794 even though the first church had been built in 1252.

People came to the area first 10000 years ago. Samisk culture in the area dates back 2000 years and by AD 3-400 scandinavian language and culture were present.

Edit: I see Cris answered you first.

I'd read there was settlement there including a church as early as 1252; the town probably a couple hundred years prior to that also. I guess no one knows whether the island or the town was founded first? Maybe I'll get hold of the visitor's office.

Is that trondhiem in english? I hate how english change the words to everything. I'm told my grandparents were from trondhiem.

 

No Trondheim is another city. English changes mostly the words that include norweigan characters, Tromsø becomes Tromso.
