The 1,046-square-kilometre (404 sq mi) municipality is the 107th largest by area out of the 357 municipalities in Norway. Brønnøy is the 135th most populous municipality in Norway with a population of 7,826. The municipality's population density is 7.5 inhabitants per square kilometre (19/sq mi) and its population has decreased by 0.9% over the previous 10-year period.[5][6]

General information

[edit]

The municipality of Brønnøy was established on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law). On 1 October 1875 the eastern district (population: 1,162) was separated to become the new Velfjord Municipality. This left Brønnøy with 4,156 residents.

Then on 1 January 1901, the southwestern district (population: 2,731) was separated to become the new Vik Municipality (which later changed its name to Sømna Municipality). Brønnøy Municipality was then left with 3,440 inhabitants. On 1 January 1923, the large village of Brønnøysund (population: 948) was separated from Brønnøy Municipality to become a town (ladested).

During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, a major municipal merger took place. The following areas were merged to form a new, larger Brønnøy Municipality.

Just thirteen years later on 1 January 1977, most of the former Sømna Municipality was separated from Brønnøy Municipality once again to become its own municipality. The Hongset area of the old Sømna Municipality remained in Brønnøy Municipality.[7]

Name

[edit]

The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the small island of Brønnøya (Old Norse: Brunnøy), since the first Brønnøy Church was built there. The first element is brunnr which means "well" or "spring" and the last element is øy which means "island". Islands with freshwater wells were important for seafarers.[8] Historically, the name of the municiaplity was spelled Brønnø. On 6 January 1908, a royal resolution changed the spelling of the name of the municipality to Brønnøy.[9]

Coat of arms

[edit]

The coat of arms was granted on 20 May 1988. The official blazon is "Or a balisage signal sable" (Norwegian: I gull en svart seilingsgrind). This means the arms have a field (background) that has a tincture of Or which means it is commonly colored yellow, but if it is made out of metal, then gold is used. The charge is a navigational marker which is used to signal directions for navigation within a harbour. The charge represents the importance of boating and harbours in this seaside municipality. The arms were designed by Rolf Tidemann, a graphic artist from Brønnøysund.[10][11][12]

Churches

[edit]

The Church of Norway has two parishes (sokn) within Brønnøy Municipality. It is part of the Sør-Helgeland prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Sør-Hålogaland.

Geography

[edit]

The municipality has great scenic variety with numerous islets, lakes (such as Eidvatnet, Sausvatnet, and Fjellvatnet), mountains, and some fertile agricultural areas. Torget island is connected to the mainland via the Brønnøysund Bridge. The highest point in the municipality is the 1,224.86-metre (4,018.6 ft) tall mountain Breivasstinden, on the border with Grane Municipality.[1]

Brønnøy is located along the Norwegian coast. Vega Municipality and Vevelstad Municipality are to the north, Vefsn Municipality and Grane Municipality are to the east, and Bindal Municipality and Sømna Municipality are to the south. The large fjord Velfjorden runs into the heart of the municipality.
