Sand is a former municipality in Rogaland county, Norway. The 213.8-square-kilometre (82.5 sq mi) municipality existed from 1859 until its dissolution in 1965. The area is now part of Suldal Municipality in the traditional district of Ryfylke. The administrative centre was the village of Sand, where Sand Church is located.[6]

Prior to its dissolution in 1965, the 213.8-square-kilometre (82.5 sq mi) municipality was the 329th largest by area out of the 525 municipalities in Norway. Sand Municipality was the 476th most populous municipality in Norway with a population of about 1,167. The municipality's population density was 5.5 inhabitants per square kilometre (14/sq mi) and its population had decreased by 0.8% over the previous 10-year period.[7][8]

General information

[edit]

The municipality was created in 1859 when the large Jelsa Municipality was divided in two: the northern district (population: 1,600) became the new Sand Municipality and the southern district (population: 2,606) remained as a smaller Jelsa Municipality.[9]

During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1965, Sand Municipality was dissolved. The following areas were merged to form a new, larger Suldal Municipality:[9]

Name

[edit]

The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Sand farm (Old Norse: Sandr) since the first Sand Church was built there. The name is identical to the word sandr which means "sand".[10]

Churches

[edit]

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

Geography

[edit]

The municipality was located along the Sandsfjorden and Hylsfjorden. The highest point in the municipality was the 1,371-metre (4,498 ft) tall mountain Dyrskardsnuten, a tripoint on the border with Sauda Municipality, Suldal Municipality, and Sand Municipality.[1] Sauda Municipality was located to the north, Suldal Municipality was located to the east, Erfjord Municipality was located to the south, Jelsa Municipality was located to the southwest, Imsland Municipality was located to the west, and Vikedal Municipality was located to the northwest.

Government

[edit]

While it existed, Sand 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.[11] The municipality was under the jurisdiction of the Ryfylke District Court and the Gulating Court of Appeal.

Municipal council

[edit]

The municipal council (Herredsstyre) of Sand Municipality was made up of 13 representatives that were elected to four year terms. The tables below show the historical composition of the council by political party.
