The Norwegian County Road 405 (Fv 405) runs through Vegusdal south to the village of Mosby in Vennesla.NameThe municipality of Vegusdal is named after the old Vegusdal farm . It is derived from the old male name, Veikolfr meaning "weak Ullfr" and the second part is the word dalr which means "valley" or "dale".HistoryThe municipality was established on 1 January 1877 when the old municipality of Evje og Vegusdal was divided into Vegusdal (population: 935) in the east and Evje (population: 870) in the west.
