Søgne is a former municipality in the old Vest-Agder county, Norway. The 151-square-kilometre (58 sq mi) municipality existed from 1838 until its dissolution in 2020. The area is now part of Kristiansand Municipality in Agder county. The administrative centre was the village of Tangvall. Other villages and residential areas in the municipality included Ausviga, Eik, Høllen, Langenes, Lone, Lunde, Ny-Hellesund, Trysnes, Vedderheia, Ålo, and Åros.[5]

Prior to its dissolution in 2020, the 151.42-square-kilometre (58.46 sq mi) municipality was the 354th largest by area out of the 422 municipalities in Norway. Søgne Municipality was the 104th most populous municipality in Norway with a population of about 11,403. The municipality's population density was 79.1 inhabitants per square kilometre (205/sq mi) and its population had increased by 9.5% over the previous 10-year period.[6][7]

The parish of Sygne (later spelled Søgne) was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law).[8] On 1 July 1913, Søgne Municipality was divided as follows: the northeastern district (population: 822) became the new Greipstad Municipality and the southwestern district (population: 2,609) continued as a smaller Søgne Municipality.[8]

During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers and border adjustments across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee.[9][10] Søgne Municipality remained generally the same during this time, however, there were three small changes to the municipal boundaries. The following areas were added to Søgne Municipality:[8]

In 2020, there were many municipal and county mergers across Norway due to the work of the Solberg cabinet.[10] On 1 January 2020, Søgne Municipality was dissolved and the following areas were merged to form an enlarged Kristiansand Municipality:[11][5]

Name

[edit]

The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Søgne farm (Old Norse: Sygna) since the Old Søgne Church was built there. The name comes from the local river Sygna (now called Søgneelva). The river name is derived from the verb súga which means "to suck". The municipality was historically spelled Sygne until the 1880s when it was changed to Søgne.[12]

Coat of arms

[edit]

The coat of arms was granted on 24 May 1985 and they were in use until 1 January 2020 when the municipality was dissolved. The official blazon is "Per fess urdy azure and argent, two points to the chief" (Norwegian: Delt av blått og sølv ved gråverksnitt (med to spisser oppover)). This means the arms have a field (background) that is divided by a line that follows a geometric "urdy" pattern. Below the line, the field has a tincture of azure (blue). Above the line, the field 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 design of the line is meant to symbolize two stone road markers (varder), which in historical times were used to mark the paths and tracks that people followed. Two of the largest of these signs are found in the municipality, and were mentioned in historical records in the early 17th century. According to legend, they were built by King Olaf II of Norway (Hellige-Olav), in the 11th century. A local tradition says they represent two girls standing on top of the hill looking for their lovers to return from fishing. The fishermen drowned and the girls remained waiting there. The stone markers are named "jentene på Hellerøya" (the girls on Heller island). The original stone markers were destroyed by Germans during World War II and afterwards they were rebuilt in concrete. The arms were designed by Ulf Skauge based on idea by Nols Th. Finstad.[13][14][15]

Churches

[edit]

The Church of Norway has one parish (sokn) within Søgne Municipality. It is part of the Mandal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Agder og Telemark.

Government

[edit]

While it existed, Søgne 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.[16] The municipality was under the jurisdiction of the Kristiansand District Court and the Agder Court of Appeal.

Geography

[edit]

Søgne was a small, coastal municipality, with a long stretch of coastline and islands to the south. To the east, it bordered Kristiansand Municipality, to the north and northeast it bordered both Marnardal Municipality and Songdalen Municipality, and to the west it bordered Mandal Municipality.

The municipality had a couple main rivers running through it: Lundeelva and Søgneelva. The Trysfjorden cut into the shoreline in the west part of the municipality. There were also many islands to the south of the mainland. Ny-Hellesund is a small cluster of three populated islands that were an important outport in the history of Søgne. The Songvår Lighthouse was located in the far south part of the municipality on the small island of Hellersøya. The highest point in the municipality was the 278-metre (912 ft) tall mountain Spjotheia.[1]
