Stangvik is a village and former municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. The village is located along the Stangvikfjord in the present-day municipality of Surnadal, about 20 kilometres (12 mi) southwest of Surnadalsøra and Skei. The former municipality encompassed much of the area surrounding the Trongfjord and the smaller fjords that branch off of it.[1]
[edit] History
The municipality of Stangvig was established on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt). According to the 1865 census the municipality had a population of 2,619. [3] On 1 January 1874, a part of Stangvik (population: 61) was moved to neighboring Tingvoll. Then on 1 January 1877, another part of Stangvik (population: 50) was moved to Surnadal. In 1879, parts of Surnadal (population: 83) and Halsa (population: 279) were moved to Stangvik. On 1 January 1886, the Møklegjerdet farm (population: 29), just west of Glærem, was transferred from Stangvik to Surnadal. On 1 January 1897, the Sjøflot farm (population: 27), also just west of Glærem, was transferred from Stangvik to Surnadal.
On 1 May 1895, the area around the Åsskardfjord and the Hamnesfjord in the north part of Stangvik was split off from Stangvik to constitute the new municipality of Aasgaard, leaving Stangvik with 2,354 inhabitants. On 1 January 1965 the municipality of Stangvik ceased to exist. The district around Ålvund and the Ålvundfjord (population: 508) was moved to Sunndal, the district of Åsprong–Sandnes (population: 26) was moved to Tingvoll, and the rest of Stangvik (population: 1,386), along with Åsskard, was merged into Surnadal.[4]
