Buvik is a former municipality in the old Sør-Trøndelag county, Norway. Buvik existed from 1855 until 1965. The municipality encompassed the extreme northeastern part of what is now the municipality of Skaun in Trøndelag county. It encompassed the roughly 25-square-kilometre (9.7 sq mi) area surrounding the Vigda river south of the Gaulosen fjord. The administrative centre was located in the village of Buvika.[3]
History
[edit]
The municipality was established in 1855 when it split off from the larger municipality of Byneset. Initially, Buvik had a population of 841. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, the Langørgen farm area (population: 11) was merged into the neighboring municipality of Melhus. Then, on 1 January 1965, the rest of Buvik (population: 1,267) was merged with the neighboring municipalities of Børsa and Skaun to form a new, larger municipality of Skaun.[4]
Name
[edit]The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the Buvik inlet (Old Norse: Boðvík), a small bay located on a southern branch of the main Trondheimsfjorden. The first element is boði which is a word that describes "waves breaking over hidden rocks". The last element is vík which means "inlet" or "cove".[5] Historically, the name of the municipality was spelled Buviken. On 3 November 1917, a royal resolution changed the spelling of the name of the municipality to Buvik, removing the definite form ending -en.[6]
Government
[edit]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]
