Historia
--------

Snorri Sturlusonin mukaan Tønsberg on perustettu ennen Hafrsfjordin taistelua noin 872. Tieto on kyseenalainen, mutta jos se olisi totta, Tønsberg olisi Norjan vanhin kaupunki – vanhempi kuin valtio itse, jonka katsotaan tulleen perustetuksi tuossa taistelussa.

Varmempien lähteiden mukaan Haakon Haakoninpoika rakensi Tønsbergiin linnoituksen 1200-luvulla. Kaupunki tuhoutui pahoin tulipalossa vuonna 1536, mutta säilytti asemansa yhtenä Norjan merkittävimmistä satamakaupungeista.

Tønsberg on Joensuun ystävyyskaupunki.
