Sørøysund is a former municipality in Finnmark county, Norway. The 826-square-kilometre (319 sq mi) municipality existed from 1852 until its dissolution in 1992. It is located in the present-day municipality of Hammerfest. The former municipality encompassed the eastern part of the island of Sørøya, the northern part of the island of Seiland, and the northern part of Kvaløya (with the exception of the town of Hammerfest). The administrative centre of Sørøysund was the town of Hammerfest, even though the town was not part of Sørøysund.[2]

History[]

The municipality of Hammerfest landdistrikt ("the rural district of Hammerfest") was established on 1 January 1852 when it was separated from the town of Hammerfest. The initial population of Sørøysund was 1,256. On 1 July 1869, the southern district of Kvalsund (population: 514) was separated from Hammerfest landdistrikt to form a municipality of its own, leaving Hammerfest landdistrikt with 932 inhabitants. On 1 January 1875, a small part of Hammerfest landdistrikt (population: 20) was transferred to the neighboring town-municipality of Hammerfest.

On 1 January 1919, the name of the municipality was changed from Hammerfest landdistrikt to Sørøysund. On 1 January 1963, another small area of Sørøysund (population: 33) was transferred to the town of Hammerfest. On 1 January 1992, Sørøysund was merged into the neighbouring town-municipality of Hammerfest. Prior to the merger, Sørøysund had 2,341 inhabitants.[3]

Name[]

The name is taken from the Sørøysundet sound between the islands of Sørøya, Stjernøya, and Kvaløya.[2]

Coat of arms[]

The coat of arms is modern and they were granted on 8 June 1979. The arms are blue with three white boats; two smaller ones over one larger one. The boats were chosen to show the importance of fishing in Sørøysund. The number three also refers to the three islands in the municipality: Sørøya, Kvaløya, and Seiland.[4]
