Stokken is a former municipality in the old Aust-Agder county in Norway. The 11-square-kilometre (4.2 sq mi) municipality existed from 1919 until 1962 when it was merged into the newly-created Moland municipality. Today, the area is a part of the present-day municipality of Arendal in Agder county. The administrative centre of the municipality was the village of Eydehavn. The Stokken Church was the main church for the small municipality located just outside the town of Arendal.[1]
