<br>'''Ports to conduct trade around year 1100-1200'''<br>In early records you will find jurisdictions called “Skipreide, Skipreie, or Skiprede”. Early on it was an area that was assigned to outfit a ship for military use. Its size was determined according to the number of farms in the area and did not always include the whole parish. In some cases it could include several parishes. A skipreie may therefore include a number of farms of a given parish while another skipreie may include the remaining farms in the same parish. A skipreie was not confined to a parish border and may include farms in several parishes. As the population grew and there were more people in a given area, the skipreie became smaller and smaller. Today a Skipreie (Skipsrederi) is just a factory in a city or town where ships are being built.<br> | <br>'''Ports to conduct trade around year 1100-1200'''<br>In early records you will find jurisdictions called “Skipreide, Skipreie, or Skiprede”.
