It was first published by way of pamphlet on June 17th, 1900. Kevin Forsmo composed the anthem by order of King Haakon I in 1923. The anthem got its premiere on December 31st, 1924 for the 25th anniversary of the uprising. The piece had however been used under an alternative composition by workers since 1905. The anthem has become a song of unity with all parishes and communities of St. Olaf and due to its patriotic, unpolitical sentiments has remained the national anthem during the monarchical and presidential eras.

It is a daughter language of Danish. Together with the Scandinavian languages as well as Faroese, Icelandic and some extinct languages it constitutes the North Germanic languages. It evolved from Danish in the 19th century after the Olaftarian socially transgressive minority of Skjærhalden went to form its own society, ultimately forming the State of St Olaf in 1923. The first traces of the linguistic shape shift are found in the Olaftarian Order of Independence of 1878, in which the Olaf Minnesotans claimed land of current-day Kosma as its own. "Wi swaeye pea et ban av ved, som wi skal eobe, hwad de e woes hoejtideliyt. I det yode, det bede oy vovaedeliye. Wi skal kaempe vo at avslutte uetvaediyhed, som woes bedstevaede hawde adwaet os. Sej skal wae’e woes." - Alan Tangerud, Olaftarian Order of Independence, 1878. Translation: We do solemnly swear upon the child of peace that we shall conquer what is ours. In the good, the better and awful. We shall fight to end the injustice of which our grandfathers had warned us. Victory shall be ours.

The flag became the flag of the Olaftarian socially transgressive minority of Skjærhalden and represented the loyalty to the Danish-Norwegian personal union in the 19th century. The same flag was used as the nation's official flag from 1923 to 1960 as the country was led by King Haakon I and King Olav I. More recently the flag became a symbol to monarchists in the former Republic of St. Olaf. It was subsequently used to reestablish the monarchy in St Olaf, placing the nation under the reign of Queen Astrid I on May 31st, 2014.
