Rødøy is a municipality in Nordland county, Norway. It is part of the Helgeland traditional region. The administrative centre of the municipality is the village of Vågaholmen. Other villages include Gjerøy, Jektvika, Kilboghamn, Melfjordbotn, Oldervika, Sørfjorden, and Tjong. The municipality consists of many islands to the west of Norway's second biggest glacier, Svartisen.

Hestmona

The 711-square-kilometre (275 sq mi) municipality is the 162nd largest by area out of the 357 municipalities in Norway. Rødøy is the 325th most populous municipality in Norway with a population of 1,139. The municipality's population density is 1.6 inhabitants per square kilometre (4.1/sq mi) and its population has decreased by 12.7% over the previous 10-year period.[5][6]

General information

Rødøyløva ('Rødøy Lion'), the basis of the municipal arms.

The municipality of Rødøy was established on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law). On 1 January 1884, the northern district of Rødøy was separated to form the new Meløy Municipality. This division left Rødøy with 1,945 residents. The borders of the municipality have not changed since that time.[7]

Name

[edit]

The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the island of Rødøya (Old Norse: Rauðøy) since the first Rødøy Church was built there. The first element is rauðr which means "red" (probably referring to the color of the rocks of the island). The last element is øy which means "island".[8] Historically, the name of the municiaplity was spelled Rødø. On 6 January 1908, a royal resolution changed the spelling of the name of the municipality to Rødøy.[9]

Coat of arms

[edit]

The coat of arms was granted on 12 February 1988. The official blazon is "Argent, a lion couchant gules" (Norwegian: I sølv en liggende rød løve). This means the arms have a field (background) that has a tincture of argent which means it is commonly colored white, but if it is made out of metal, then silver is used. The charge is red-colored lion that is laying down with its head up and its tail dangling down. The arms are somewhat canting because the municipal name means "Red Island", so the color red was chosen for the lion. The most striking formation on the island is a large, rocky mountain, which has a striking resemblance to a lion. The mountain's name is Rødøyløva, meaning "the Lion of Red Island", which is why this was chosen for the municipal arms. The silver background symbolizes the sea. The arms were designed by Olga Grimsmo Nilsen, former teacher in a local school.[10][11][12][13]

Churches

[edit]

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

Geography

[edit]

The eastern part of Rødøy Municipality is located on the mainland, just west of the Saltfjellet mountain range. The rest of the municipality consists of islands to the west including Gjerdøya, Storselsøya, Myken, Nesøya, Rangsundøya, Renga, and Rødøya. The westernmost part of the municipality is the Myken islands in the Vestfjorden, where the Myken Lighthouse is located.

The Tjongsfjorden is located in the northern part of the mainland of Rødøy, just north of the mountain Blokktinden. The Melfjorden is located in the southern part of the mainland, flowing out of the Saltfjellet–Svartisen National Park. The highest point in the municipality is the 1,533.62-metre (5,031.6 ft) tall mountain Steintinden.[1]

Climate

[edit]

The Norwegian Meteorological Institute has a weather station near the Myken Lighthouse on an island west in the Norwegian Sea. Myken is situated 32 kilometres (20 mi) from the mainland and 25 kilometres (16 mi) north of the Arctic Circle. This is one of the most oceanic stations in Northern Norway. The current station has recording since 1992, and an earlier station at same location was in operation 1920–1991. The all-time high temperature is 27.5 °C (81.5 °F) recorded July 1972; the all-time low is −13.9 °C (7.0 °F) recorded in February 1966. The driest month on record is September 2015 with 0.0 millimetres (0 in) precipitation, and the wettest is October 1934 with 227 millimetres (8.9 in). The average date for first overnight freeze (below 0 °C (32 °F)) in autumn is November 10 (1981-2010 average) at Myken.[14]

Farms of Rødøy

[edit]

Historically, the land of Rødøy was divided up into named farms. These farms were used in census and tax records and are useful for genalogical research. These are the farm names in Rødøy as they are listed in O. Rygh's series "Norske Gaardnavne" ("Norwegian Farm Names"), the Nordland volume of which was published in 1905.

See also: Digital version of Norske Gaardnavne - Nordland (in Norwegian)

The farm numbers are used in some census records, and numbers that are near each other indicate that those farms are geographically proximate. Handwritten Norwegian sources, particularly those prior to 1800, may use variants on these names. For recorded variants before 1723, see the digital version of O. Rygh.

Farm names were often used as part of Norwegian names, in addition to the person's given name and patronymic or inherited surname. Some families retained the farm name, or toponymic, as a surname when they emigrated, so in those cases tracing a surname may tell you specifically where in Norway the family was from. This tradition began to change in the mid to late 19th century, and inherited surnames were codified into law in 1923.

Farm maps

[edit]

Note that each map has a maximum number of listings it can display, so the map has been divided into parts consistent with the enumeration districts (Norwegian: tellingskrets) in the 1920 census. This map will include one farm name per farm number; other farm names or subdivision numbers may exist.
Coordinates are approximate.
