Stadsbygd is a former municipality in the old Sør-Trøndelag county, Norway. The municipality existed from 1838 until its dissolution in 1964. The 137-square-kilometre (53 sq mi) municipality existed on the southern part of the Fosen peninsula, along the Trondheimsfjorden in what is now Indre Fosen Municipality in Trøndelag county. The administrative centre was the village of Stadsbygd, just north of the Stadsbygd Church.[6]

Prior to its dissolution in 1963, the 137-square-kilometre (53 sq mi) municipality was the 452nd largest by area out of the 689 municipalities in Norway. Stadsbygd Municipality was the 472nd most populous municipality in Norway with a population of about 1,818. The municipality's population density was 13.3 inhabitants per square kilometre (34/sq mi) and its population had decreased by 8% over the previous 10-year period.[7][8]

General information

[edit]

The municipality of Stadsbygd was established on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law). In 1860, the northwestern district of Stadsbygd (population: 3,733) was separated to form a municipality the new Rissa Municipality. The split left Stadsbygd Municipality with a population of 1,828. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, the Ingdalen district south of the Trondheimsfjord (population: 171) was merged into Agdenes Municipality. The rest of Stadsbygd Municipality, located north of the Trondheimsfjord (population: 1,616), was merged with Rissa Municipality (population: 3,264) and the southern part of Stjørna Municipality (population: 1,868) to form a new, larger Rissa Municipality.[9]

Name

[edit]

The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the peninsula on which it is located (Old Norse: Staðr). The first element of the name comes from the word staðr which means "place" or "abode". The last element comes from the word byggð which means "settlement" or "farm".[6][10] Historically, the name of the municipality was spelled Stadsbygden. On 3 November 1917, a royal resolution changed the spelling of the name of the municipality to Stadsbygd, removing the definite form ending -en.[11]

Churches

[edit]

The Church of Norway had one parish (sokn) within Stadsbygd Municipality. At the time of the municipal dissolution, it was part of the Stadsbygd prestegjeld and the Fosen prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nidaros.[8]

Government

While it existed, Stadsbygd municipality was responsible for primary education (through 10th grade), outpatient health services, senior citizen services, welfare and other social services, zoning, economic development, and municipal roads and utilities. The municipality was governed by a municipal council of directly elected representatives. The mayor was indirectly elected by a vote of the municipal council.[12] The municipality was under the jurisdiction of the Frostating Court of Appeal.
