Vigrestad

Vigrestad is a village in the municipality of Hå, Norway. Its population was 1850 in 2009. It is situated approximately 32 metres above sea level and 7, 5 km from Varhaug, which is the municipality's administrative centre. The name probably has its origin from the word "vig" meaning battle/war, and "stad" meaning place. There is therefore reason to believe that it was the site of a battle in older times. The name could alternatively originate from the old Norse word "vigr" which means spear.
