Before the town's official creation, [[CrA6914]] had arrived in the area from the Baltics between the 12th and 13th of July. He had sailed up the river from Gothenburg and had decided to create a town away from other exisiting towns. Having settled in an area with nothing much nearby, he set out building the town, starting with a mine, then a town hall, farm, and church. He also began building a stone path that would link an existing path to his town to enable easy access to Gothenburg. | Before the town's official creation, [[CrA6914]] had arrived in the area from the Baltics between the 12th and 13th of July.

=== Old Town === | |||
On the 14th of July 2019, NordicFenris, the King of what was then Sverige approached the soon-to-be mayor of this town. He had come in peace and explained to him that he will help him fund a new town. The mayor quickly accepted and Kongsvinger was integrated into Sverige. The oddly laid street pattern was due to the fact that the town was built before it had been claimed, therefore escaping the common grid pattern altogether. | On the 14th of July 2019, NordicFenris, the King of what was then Sverige approached the soon-to-be mayor of this town.
