History

Early history

Spanish Civil War

With the eruption of the Civil War in July 1936, the Falange fought on the Nationalist side against the Second Spanish Republic. Expanding rapidly from several thousand to several hundred thousand, the Falange's male membership was accompanied by a female auxiliary, the Sección Femenina. Led by José Antonio's sister Pilar, this latter subsidiary organization claimed more than a half million members by the end of the war and provided nursing and support services for the Nationalist forces.

Juntas de Ofensiva Nacional-Sindicalista

Juntas de Ofensiva Nacional-Sindicalista (JONS; Spanish for "Unions of the National-Syndicalist Offensive") was a national syndicalist movement in 1930s Spain, eventually incorporated into the dictatorship of Francisco Franco.

History

JONS was founded on October 10, 1931, as the fusion of the groups La Conquista del Estado of Ramiro Ledesma and the Junta Castellana de Actuación Hispánica of Onésimo Redondo. JONS was a small organization, primarily based amongst students in Madrid and workers and peasants in and around Valladolid. Its followers were called jonsistas.

The leadership of JONS was the Central Executive Triumvirate.

In 1933, JONS experienced a period of expansion. It started publishing a theoretical journal, JONS. Amongst other things, it engaged in trade union work in Castile. In January 1933, Gutiérrez Palma set up a transport workers union in Valladolid. Later the same year, JONS founded the Agrarian Trade Union Federation. In six months it had set up 175 trade unions, which together claimed around 3,000 members. During that year, Onésimo Redondo returned from exile in Portugal, and restarted the publication Libertad.

General information

Name

The name (Old Norse: Fit) is first recorded in 1321 ("a Fit"). It is the word fit which means "vigorous meadow".

Coat-of-arms

The coat-of-arms is from modern times. They were granted on 19 December 1986. The arms show a logging hook, which in the area was used to haul the logs, cut in the surrounding forests. The logs were transported over the streams and lakes to the sawmills. The people use long poles with hooks to haul the logs. The colours of the arms are green and silver, because the name is derived from an old word describing a field (green) near a lake (silver).

Geography

Fet is located on the eastern side of Lake Øyeren and includes the point at which the River Glomma enters the lake. The inland river delta that has formed is the largest in Europe and reaches the opposite shore of the lake, across its short axis. Until 1985, logs floated down the river were brought onshore here before the river entered its delta, and were then transported onwards by rail. Today, many of Fet's floating buildings have been preserved and converted into a museum and cultural centre.
