Lillestrøm is a city in the municipality of Skedsmo, Akershus, Norway. The municipal administration is located in Lillestrøm. Facilities in Lillestrøm include hotels, Norway trade fairs, a brand new cinema, a mall, Lillestrøm torv, restaurants, a high speed commuter train that reaches both Oslo and Gardermoen airport (the Gardermoen Line), a community cultural house (kulturhus), and a community outdoor swimming pool complex.
At Kjeller, just outside of the city, there is a military airport (1912) and several research institutes. The meaning of the name is “the little/lille (part of) Strøm” – and Strøm is the name of an old and large farm (Norse Straumr). The name is identical with the word straumr meaning “stream (in a river)”. Lillestrøm’s history dates back to the times river powered sawmills came into use for the production of building materials. Later Lillestrøm got its own steam sawmill which laid the base for the development of the area which became the town. The area was, by and large, a Moss covered swamp-like area, at the Time considered almost uninhabitable. However, the almost non-existent property values were judged to be a fair exchange and so the workers started living and settling in the area around the sawmill, and Lillestrøm was born.
