Stjørna is a former municipality in the old Sør-Trøndelag county in Norway. The municipality existed from 1899 until its dissolution in 1964. The 322-square-kilometre (124 sq mi) municipality encompassed the land surrounding the Stjørnfjorden in what is now the municipalities of Ørland and Indre Fosen in Trøndelag county. The administrative centre of Stjørna was the village of Husbysjøen. The municipality of Stjørna also included the villages of Høybakken, Råkvåg, and . The main church for the municipality was Stjørna Church which is now called Heggvik Church.[2]
History[]
The municipality of Skjørn was established on 1 January 1899 when the old municipality of Bjugn was split into three separate municipalities: Bjugn (population: 1,256), Skjørn (population: 2,166), and Nes (population: 1,285). In 1918, the spelling of the name was changed from Skjørn to Stjørna.
During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, the northern part of the municipality (Nord-Stjørna) (population: 676) was merged with the neighboring municipalities of Bjugn (population: 1,240), Nes (population: 1,107), and Jøssund (population: 1,917) to form a new, larger municipality of Bjugn. The southern part of Stjørna municipality (Sør-Stjørna) (population: 1,868) was merged with the neighboring municipality of Rissa (population: 3,264) and most of the municipality of Stadsbygd (population: 1,616) to form a new, larger municipality of Rissa.[3]
Government[]
All municipalities in Norway, including Stjørna, 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 is governed by a municipal council of elected representatives, which in turn elects a mayor.[4]
