Nordfold-Kjerringøy or Nordfold og Kjerringøy is a former municipality in Nordland county, Norway. The 737-square-kilometre (285 sq mi) municipality existed from 1887 until its dissolution in 1906. The municipality covered the area surrounding the entrance to the large Folda fjord plus the area surrounding the northern branch of that fjord. It included the southern part of what is now Steigen Municipality, the northern part of the present-day Bodø Municipality, and the northern part of what is now Sørfold Municipality.[3][4]
History
The municipality of Nordfold-Kjerringøy was established on 1 January 1887, when the municipality of Folden was split into two new municipalities: Nordfold-Kjerringøy and Sørfold. Initially, Nordfold-Kjerringøy had a population of 1,347. On 1 January 1894, the Movik farm (population: 30) on the north side of the Sagfjorden was moved administratively from Nordfold-Kjerringøy Municipality to the neighboring Sørfold Municipality. On 1 January 1906, Nordfold-Kjerringøy ceased to exist when it was split into two new municipalities: Nordfold and Kjerringøy. Before the partition, Nordfold-Kjerringøy had a population of 2,342.[5]
