History
Stokken was part of the municipality of Austre Moland since its establishment on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt). On 1 July 1919, Austre Moland was divided into two separate municipalities: Stokken (population: 1,683) and Austre Moland (population: 1,289).
On 1 January 1962, a merger took place between Stokken, Austre Moland, Flosta, as well as the Strengereid district in Tvedestrand. This created the new municipality of Moland. Before the merger, Stokken had a population of 2,783. On 1 January 1992, the municipality of Moland (including the area of Stokken) was merged into the neighboring municipality of Arendal.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“We know only a single science, the science of history. One can look at history from two sides and divide it into the history of nature and the history of men. However, the two sides are not to be divided off; as long as men exist the history of nature and the history of men are mutually conditioned.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“The history of philosophy is to a great extent that of a certain clash of human temperaments.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“Man watches his history on the screen with apathy and an occasional passing flicker of horror or indignation.”
—Conor Cruise O’Brien (b. 1917)
