History

The municipality of Drevja was established on 1 July 1927 when the large Vefsn Municipality was divided into three municipalities: Drevja (population: 964) in the north, Grane (population: 1,746) in the south, and Vefsn (population: 3,119) in the center. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1962, the municipality of Drevja (population: 1,001) was merged with the neighboring municipalities of Elsfjord (population: 920) and Vefsn (population: 5,358) and with the town of Mosjøen) to form a new, larger Vefsn Municipality.[2]

Name

The municipality was named after the river Drevja which flows from the lake Drevvatnet to the Vefsnfjorden. The name of the river is derived from the word Шаблон:Lang which means "rubbish" or "waste". Thus the meaning of the name is something like "the river with unclean water".[3]

Government

During its existence, this municipality was governed by a municipal council of elected representatives, which in turn elected a mayor.[4]

Municipal council

The municipal council Шаблон:Lang of Drevja was made up of 13 representatives that were elected to four year terms.
