Stadsbygd is a former municipality in the old Sør-Trøndelag county, Norway. The municipality existed from 1838 until its dissolution in 1964. The 137-square-kilometre (53 sq mi) municipality existed on the southern part of the Fosen peninsula, along the Trondheimsfjorden in what is now the municipality of Indre Fosen in Trøndelag county. The administrative centre was the village of Stadsbygd, just north of the Stadsbygd Church.^[3]

History

The municipality of Stadsbygd was established on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law). In 1860, the northwestern district of Stadsbygd (population: 3,733) was separated to form a municipality the new municipality of Rissa. The split left Stadsbygd with a population of 1,828. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, the Ingdalen district south of the Trondheimsfjord (population: 171) was merged into the municipality of Agdenes. The rest of Stadsbygd, north of the Trondheimsfjord, (population: 1,616) was merged with the neighboring municipalities of Rissa (population: 3,264) and the southern part of the municipality of Stjørna (population: 1,868).^[4]

Name

The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the peninsula on which it is located (Old Norse: Staðr). The first element of the name comes from the word staðr which means "place" or "abode". The last element comes from the word byggð which means "settlement" or "farm".^[3]^[5] Historically, the name of the municipality was spelled Stadsbygden. On 3 November 1917, a royal resolution changed the spelling of the name of the municipality to Stadsbygd, removing the definite form ending -en.^[6]

Government

While it existed, this municipality was responsible for primary education (through 10th grade), outpatient health services, senior citizen services, unemployment, social services, zoning, economic development, and municipal roads. During its existence, this municipality was governed by a municipal council of elected representatives, which in turn elected a mayor.^[7]
