Sør-Audnedal (former name: Søndre Undal or Sør-Undal) is a former municipality that was located in the old Vest-Agder county in Norway. The municipality existed from 1845 until its dissolution in 1964. It was located in the present-day municipality of Lindesnes in Agder county. The administrative centre was the village of Vigeland where Valle Church is.[1]

Name[]

The municipality was named Sør-Audnedal, which means "southern Audnedal", since it is the southern part of the old Audnedal municipality, which encompassed the Audnedalen valley. The name Audnedal (Old Norse: Auðnudalr) is from the Audna river (Old Norse: Auðna), which runs through the valley ("-dalr") and empties into the Snigsfjorden. The river name means "destruction".[1][2] Historically, the municipality was named Sør-Undal or Søndre Undal, which uses an older version of the valley name (and an alternate way of spelling "southern").

History[]

The municipality of Søndre Undal was established in 1845 when the old Undal municipality was divided into Nordre Undal (population: 802) and Søndre Undal (population: 3,893). The name was later changed to Sør-Audnedal. On 1 January 1899, the western part of Sør-Audnedal (population: 1,734) was separated to become the new municipality of Spangereid. The split left Sør-Audnedal with 2,958 inhabitants. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, Sør-Audnedal municipality (population: 2,323) was merged with the neighboring municipalities of Vigmostad (population: 589) and Spangereid (population: 899) to create the new municipality of Lindesnes.[3]

Government[]

All municipalities in Norway, including Sør-Audnedal, are responsible for primary education (through 10th grade), outpatient health services, senior citizen services, unemployment and other social services, zoning, economic development, and municipal roads. The municipality was governed by a municipal council of elected representatives, which in turn elected a mayor.[4]
