Hitra is a municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway. The municipality covers the island of Hitra and hundreds of smaller islands, islets, and skerries as well as an area on the mainland of Norway. It is part of the Fosen region. The administrative centre of the municipality is the village of Fillan. Other villages include Andersskogan, Ansnes, Forsnes, Hestvika, Knarrlaget, Kvenvær, Melandsjøen, Nordbotn, Sandstad, and Ulvan.
The 756-square-kilometre (292 sq mi) municipality is the 149th largest by area out of the 357 municipalities in Norway. Hitra Municipality is the 178th most populous municipality in Norway with a population of 5,323. The municipality's population density is 7 inhabitants per square kilometre (18/sq mi) and its population has increased by 17.7% over the previous 10-year period.[5][6]
Hitra Municipality is famous in Norway for its large and dense population of red deer (as symbolised in its coat of arms — see image right). Hitra Municipality is a member of the International Island Games Association.
General information
[edit]The prestegjeld of Hitra was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law). On 1 January 1877, the northern island of Frøya and its smaller surrounding islets (population: 3,949) was separated from Hitra to form the new Frøya Municipality. On 1 January 1886, the southern and eastern parts of Hitra Municipality were separated into a new Fillan Municipality. This left Hitra Municipality with 2,241 residents. Then on 1 January 1913, the western part of Hitra Municipality was separated to form the new Kvenvær Municipality. This left Hitra Municipality with 1,439 residents.[7]
During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, Hitra Municipality (population: 1,344), Kvenvær Municipality (population: 840), Fillan Municipality (population: 1,759), and Sandstad Municipality (population: 1,028) were merged to form a new, larger Hitra Municipality.[7]
On 1 January 2018, the municipality switched from the old Sør-Trøndelag county to the new Trøndelag county.
On 1 January 2020, the island of Hemnskjela and the northwestern corner of Snillfjord Municipality on the mainland was merged into Hitra Municipality.[8][9]
Name
[edit]The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the island of Hitra (Old Norse: Hitr). The name is probably derived from a word meaning "split" or "cleft" (referring to the many inlets of the island).[10] Historically, the name of the municipality was spelled Hitteren. On 3 November 1917, a royal resolution changed the spelling of the name of the municipality to Hitra.[11]
Coat of arms
[edit]The coat of arms was granted on 7 August 1987. The official blazon is "Azure, a stag's head couped argent" (Norwegian: I blått et sølv hjortehode). This means the arms have a blue field (background) and the charge is the head of a stag. The stag's head 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 blue color in the field symbolizes the importance of the sea for the island municipality. The design of the stag's head symbolizes that Hitra is home to one of Northern Europe's largest populations of red deer. The arms were based on an idea by Ketil Gylland from Fillan and drawn by the designer Einar Skjervold from Trondheim.[12][13][14]
Churches
[edit]The Church of Norway has two parishes (sokn) within Hitra Municipality. It is part of the Orkdal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nidaros.

Geography
[edit]Hitra is the seventh largest island of mainland Norway. It is bordered by Frøya Municipality to the north and to the south (on the mainland) are Heim Municipality and Orkland Municipality. It lies between the Trondheimsleia strait and the Frøyfjorden. The 345-metre (1,132 ft) tall Mørkdalstuva is the highest point on the island of Hitra. The highest point in the whole municipality is the 526.9-metre (1,729 ft) tall mountain Vingfjellet on the mainland, on the border with Orkland Municipality.[1]
Other than the large island of Hitra, there are many other islands in the municipality, notably Fjellværsøya, Ulvøya, Dolmøya, Helgbustadøya, Hemnskjela, and Bispøyan. The Børøyholmen Lighthouse and Terningen Lighthouse are located in the Trondheimsleia in the southeast part of Hitra Municipality.
