The 1,329-square-kilometre (513 sq mi) municipality is the 74th largest by area out of the 357 municipalities in Norway. Åfjord is the 197th most populous municipality in Norway with a population of 4,339.

General information

[edit]
Årnes in Åfjord

The municipality of Aafjord was established on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law). On 26 March 1870, a royal resolution moved a small, unpopulated part to Aafjord Municipality to the neighboring Bjugn Municipality. On 1 January 1896, the southwestern coastal area of Aafjord Municipality (population: 1,529) was separated to form the new Jøssund Municipality. This left Aafjord Municipality with 2,419 residents. On the same date, the name of Aafjord Municipality was changed to just Aa Municipality. The spelling was later changed to Å Municipality. On 13 July 1934, the name of the municipality was changed from "Å" to "Åfjord Municipality". After that, the administrative centre in the municipality was referred to as "Å" or "Å i Åfjord".

During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, the neighboring Stoksund Municipality (population: 2,643) and Åfjord Municipality (population: 1,515) were merged to form a new, larger Åfjord Municipality.[8] On 1 November 1980, the postal service changed the name of the municipal center from "Å i Åfjord" to "Årnes".

On 1 January 2018, the municipality switched from the old Sør-Trøndelag county to the new Trøndelag county.

On 1 January 2020, the neighboring Roan Municipality was merged into Åfjord Municipality. The new municipality adopted the coat of arms of the old Roan Municipality.[9][10]

Name

[edit]

The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Aa farm (Old Norse: Ár) since the first Åfjord Church was built there. The local fjord (Åfjorden) is also named after this farm. The first element of the current name is the plural form of á which means "river", probably since there are two rivers, the Norddalselva and Stordalselva, that run together just south of the farm. The last element of the current name is fjǫrðr which means "fjord".[11]

The spelling of the name has varied over the years. Historically, the name of the municipality was spelled Aafjorden. On 23 March 1895, a royal resolution approved the division of the municipality effective 1 January 1896. On that date, the southwestern part became the new Jøssund Municipality and the remaining portion of Aafjorden Municipality would be renamed Aa (leaving off the "fjord" part of the old name).[12] On 21 December 1917, a royal resolution enacted the 1917 Norwegian language reforms. Prior to this change, the name was spelled Aa with the digraph "Aa", and after this reform, the name was spelled Å, simply using the letter Å instead.[13][14] On 13 July 1934, a royal resolution changed the spelling of the name of the municipality to Åfjord.[15]

Coat of arms

[edit]
Arms of Åfjord (2020–present)
Arms of Åfjord (1997-2019)

The current coat of arms was approved for use starting on 1 January 2020 after a municipal merger with Åfjord Municipality and Roan Municipality. These arms had previously been used by Roan from 1987 until 2020. The official blazon is "Azure, three terns volant argent" (Norwegian: I blått tre oppflyvende sølv terner, 2-1). This means the arms have a blue field (background) and the charge is a group of three flying terns. The bird design has a tincture of argent which means it is commonly colored white, but if it is made out of metal, then silver is used. Terns, a very watchful and energetic bird, are intended to symbolize the local inhabitants and the coast with the vast bird life in the area. The arms were initially designed by Solfrid Krogfjord with the final design by Einar H. Skjervold. The municipal flag has the same design as the coat of arms.[16][17][18]

See also: the coat of arms of Tvedestrand

The previous coat of arms was granted on 18 April 1997 until 1 January 2020 when the municipality was enlarged and the arms were changed. The official blazon is "Azure, two boats argent issuant from sinister" (Norwegian: I blått to fremvoksende sølv båter). This means the arms have a blue field (background) and the charge is two boats coming out of the right side of the shield. The boats have a tincture of argent which means they are commonly colored white, but if the arms are made out of metal, then silver is used. The arms show two stems of a boat to represent the special boats Norwegian: Åfjordbåt that are built in the municipality. These boats had a long, shallow keel and straight masts. The arms were designed by Einar H. Skjervold. The municipal flag had the same design as the coat of arms.[19][20][21]

Churches

[edit]

The Church of Norway has three parishes (sokn) within Åfjord Municipality. It is part of the Fosen prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nidaros.

History

[edit]
Harbakkhula (cave), with evidence of Stone Age settlement.

There are archeological findings on many sites across the municipality. At Dragseid. archaeologists have located grave mounds. It is said that the wooden boats were dragged over the thin Dragseid peninsula to shorten the journey and to avoid risking them in bad weather. Up to the Middle Ages the Fosen peninsula was included as a part of the district of Nordmøre, immediately to the south.[22]

Prior to 1950, there were no roads leading into and out of the municipality. In 1950, the road to the neighboring Bjugn Municipality to the south was finally finished. In 1955, the road to Stoksund Municipality in the northern part of the municipality was finished.

An old type of wooden boat, the Åfjord boat, comes from this area. The boat is a direct descendant form the old Norse Viking boats. It is still being produced, although in very small numbers. The boat is rounded at both ends. It is known to be a good coastal sailer. Different sizes exist. From the small "faering" to the largest of them all, the "fembøring".

Government

[edit]

Åfjord Municipality is responsible for primary education (through 10th grade), outpatient health services, senior citizen services, welfare and other social services, zoning, economic development, and municipal roads and utilities. The municipality is governed by a municipal council of directly elected representatives. The mayor is indirectly elected by a vote of the municipal council.[23] The municipality is under the jurisdiction of the Trøndelag District Court and the Frostating Court of Appeal.

Economy

[edit]

The people of Åfjord make their living from agriculture, forestry, fishing, transport (sea and land), aquaculture (fish and shellfish), construction, and services. The largest employer in the area is Stjern (forestry, sawmill, entrepreneur). The contractor, building, sector now employs about 19% of the working force, and is now larger than the agricultural sector.

Geography

[edit]
Hosensanden beach on the island Stokkøya, July 1987

Åfjord Municipality is located next to Osen Municipality to the north, Namsos Municipality to the northeast, Steinkjer Municipality to the east, Indre Fosen Municipality to the south, and Ørland Municipality to the southwest.

The major centre of the municipality is Årnes (also called "Å in Åfjord"). All major services of the municipality are located there. Other populated areas are Monstad/Å, a couple of minutes by car from Årnes, and Stoksund/Revsnes. Åfjord covers an area of approximately 1,300 square kilometres (500 sq mi), with about 4300 residents— about one third of which live in the Årnes urban area.

Åfjord consists of many small settlements—from the islands in the west to the highlands in the east. Traditionally, Åfjord has been an agricultural society, while Stoksund in the west has had a more of a fishing-based economy. There is an increasing amount of weekend houses and recreational cabins in the area. Åfjord has two big islands; Stokkøya (380 inhabitants) and Linesøya (80 inhabitants). Stokkøya is connected with the mainland through a bridge Stokkøy Bridge. The Linesøy Bridge connects the islands of Stokkøya and Linesøya. The other main island is Lauvøya near the south at the end of the Åfjorden.

The highest point in Åfjord Municipality is the 676-metre (2,218 ft) tall Finnvollheia.[1] There are over 1,000 lakes with fish. Åfjord also has two major salmon rivers—the Nordalselva and Stordalselva, which flow into Åfjorden. English Lords used to fish here in the late 19th century. The lake Stordalsvatnet lies just east of Årnes. The lake Selavatnet lies in the east, along the border with Steinkjer Municipality.
