The village of Lillesand grew up significantly during the 17th century around its natural harbour. In 1821, the village area was granted the status as a sea port with special trading rights. Following the enactment of the Local Government Act of 1837 (formannskapsdistrikt), which established self-governing municipal districts throughout Norway, Lillesand became an independent municipality.

Each ladested (market town or trading port) was separate from its surrounding parish. This meant that Lillesand became self-governing like the new civil municipalities. Later, in 1952, the town became classified as a bykommune (town/city-municipality).

Lillesand is the administrative centre of Lillesand municipality in Agder county, Norway. The town is located along the Skagerrak coast, about 18 kilometres southwest of the town of Grimstad and about 25 kilometres northeast of the city of Kristiansand.
