Hjørundfjord is a former municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. The municipality existed from 1838 until its dissolution in 1964. The Шаблон:Convert municipality is now a part of the municipality of Ørsta. The administrative centre was the village of Sæbø, located on the shores of the Hjørundfjorden. The municipality encircled both sides of the Hjørundfjorden as well as the Bondalen valley. The villages of Bjørke, Leira, and Store Standal were all a part Hjørundfjord Municipality.[1]
History
The municipality was established on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law). The original municipality was the same as the prestegjeld (parish) of Hjørundfjord. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, the three neighboring municipalities of Hjørundfjord (population: 1,728), Vartdal (population: 1,315), and Ørsta (population: 6,209) were merged into one large municipality, under the name Ørsta.[2]
Name
The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the local Hjørundfjorden (Шаблон:Lang-non). The first element is the old name of the fjord, Шаблон:Lang-non. This origin of this name is uncertain, but it may have come from the word Шаблон:Wikt-lang which means "sword". The last element is Шаблон:Wikt-lang which means "fjord".[3]
Government
While it existed, this municipality was responsible for primary education (through 10th grade), outpatient health services, senior citizen services, unemployment, social services, zoning, economic development, and municipal roads. During its existence, this municipality was governed by a municipal council of directly elected representatives. The mayor was indirectly elected by a vote of the municipal council.[4]
