How Fagerborg came to be
Fagerborg is named after a plot of land, a løkke, that was split off from Nedre Blindern.1 From the 1880s, to the 1920s the area filled up with villas, small houses and rows of terraced homes.2
Fagerborg church was completed and consecrated in 1903.3 Fagerborg school opened in 1916 as a middle school (middelskole).4
According to Lokalhistoriewiki, the Jessenløkken housing complex was built in 1919–1922 and still dominates the western part of Fagerborg. In the 1920s, terraced houses also went up in an area known as Det engelske kvartal.5
