Vikedal is a former municipality in Rogaland county, Norway. The municipality existed from 1838 until its dissolution in 1965. It was located along the Vindafjorden and Sandeidfjorden in the northern part of the Ryfylke district.[1] The administrative centre of the municipality was the village of Vikedal, where Vikedal Church is located.[1]
History[]
The parish of Vikedal was created as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law). On 1 January 1923 the municipality was divided in three. The northwestern part became the municipality of Sandeid (population: 558), the central part remained as Vikedal (population: 924), and the southeastern part became the municipality of Imsland (population: 604).
On 1 January 1965, a major municipal reform took place resulting from the recommendations of the Schei Committee. The municipality of Vikedal was dissolved on that date and it was split up among two municipalities. The Hapnes and Dokskar farms (population: 2) were merged into the neighboring municipality of Tysvær to the southwest. The rest of Vikedal (population: 978) was merged with the municipality of Sandeid and parts of the municipalities of Imsland, Vats and Skjold to form the new municipality called Vindafjord.[2]
Government[]
All municipalities in Norway, including Vikedal, 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.[3]
