Hjelmeland og Fister is a former municipality in Rogaland county, Norway. The Шаблон:Convert municipality[1][2] existed from 1859 until its dissolution in 1884. It encompassed the area of today's Hjelmeland municipality plus the eastern islands in today's Stavanger municipality. The administrative centre of the municipality was the village of Hjelmelandsvågen. There were two churches in the municipality: Fister Church and Hjelmeland Church.

History

The municipality of Hjelmeland og Fister was established in 1859 when the old municipality of Hjelmeland was split into Årdal and Hjelmeland og Fister. Initially, Hjelmeland og Fister had 3,084 residents. On 6 March 1869, a small area of Årdal municipality (population: 40) was transferred to Hjelmeland og Fister. The municipality was split into two on 1 July 1884. The Fister islands and the land surrounding the Fisterfjorden (population: 832) became the new municipality of Fister with a total of Шаблон:Convert of land.[2] The rest of the municipality (population: 2,249) became the new municipality of Hjelmeland with Шаблон:Convert of land.[1][3]

Name

The municipal name is a combination of the names of two areas that make up the municipality, literally meaning "Hjelmeland and Fister". The first part is named after the old Hjelmeland farm (Шаблон:Lang-non) since the first Hjelmeland Church was built there. Today the farm is a part of the Hjelmelandsvågen urban area. The first element of the name is the plural genitive case of Шаблон:Wikt-lang which means "helmet" (likely referring to two hills behind the farm which have the form of two helmets). The last element is Шаблон:Wikt-lang which means "land" or "farm".[4]

The second part is named after the old Fister farm (Шаблон:Lang-non) since the first Fister Church was built there. The name probably comes from the word Шаблон:Lang which means "windy" or "hardy". It is probably related to the verb Шаблон:Wikt-lang which means "to pass gas".[5]
