Hildringen in Bindal (1852).

In 1838, the parish of Bindal was split into two municipalities (see formannskapsdistrikt law) because the parish included land in both the counties of Nord-Trøndelag and Nordland. The new law required that municipalities be located only in one county, so the parish was divided into two municipalities: Nordbindalen and Sørbindalen. In 1852, the county border was moved south to its current position and the municipalities of Nordbindalen and Sørbindalen were merged back together to form the municipality of Bindal. On 1 January 1964, the area around the inner Bindalsfjorden and the village of Lande (population: 296) was transferred to Brønnøy Municipality.[3]

Name

The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the Bindalen valley (Шаблон:Lang-non). The first element is the genitive case of the river name Шаблон:Lang (now called the river Åbjøra). The river name is derived from the word Шаблон:Wikt-lang which means "(female) bear". The last element is Шаблон:Wikt-lang which means "valley" or "dale".[4][5] Historically, the name of the municipality was spelled Bindalen. On 3 November 1917, a royal resolution changed the spelling of the name of the municipality to Bindal, removing the definite form ending -en.[6]

Coat of arms

The coat of arms was granted on 9 February 1990. The official blazon is "Azure, six nails Or in annulo" (Шаблон:Lang-no). This means the arms have a blue field (background) and the charge is a circular arrangement of six nails or rivets. The charge has a tincture of Or which means it is commonly colored yellow, but if it is made out of metal, then gold is used. The blue color in the field symbolizes the importance of the sea and boating and the circular arrangement of rivets was chosen to symbolize the importance of the boat building industry in Bindal. There are six rivets to represent 6 school districts, 6 originally inhabited islands, and 6 fjords areas in the municipality. The arms were designed by Arvid Sveen.[7][8][9][10]

Churches

The Church of Norway has two parishes (Шаблон:Lang) within the municipality of Bindal. It is part of the Sør-Helgeland prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Sør-Hålogaland.
