Gjone is a village in Larvik Municipality in Vestfold county, Norway. The village is located about 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) to the south of the larger village of Kvelde and approximately 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) north of the town of Larvik.[2] Gjone consists of six main farms. The three original farms, Nord Gjone,[3] Mellem Gjone[4] and Gjone Gård,[5] were further divided into other farms due to the old system of land partition, whereby every son inherited his own portion of the land.[6] Today, approximately forty people live in the Gjone area.
