History

The village was the administrative centre of the old Konsmo Municipality which existed from 1911 until 1964 and then it was the administrative centre of the Audnedal Municipality from 1964 until 2020 when that area became part of Lyngdal Municipality.

Name

The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Konsmo farm (), since the first Konsmo Church was built there. The name is a corruption of Kongsmoen which means King's moor.
