Geitastrand is a former municipality in the old Sør-Trøndelag county in Norway. The 119-square-kilometre (46 sq mi) municipality[3] existed from 1905 until 1963 in what is now part of the municipality of OrklandinTrøndelag county. It encompassed the coastal area along the Trondheimsfjord between the town of Orkanger in the south to the Ingdalen valley in the north. The district was thinly populated, and has no significant urban areas. The administrative centre of the municipality was at Geitastrand village where the Geitastrand Church is located. The Byneset area of the city of Trondheim is located across the fjord to the east from Geitastrand.[3]

History[edit]

Geitastrand Church

The municipality of Geitastrand was established on 1 January 1905 when it was separated from the municipality of Børsa. Initially, Geitastrand had a population of 674. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1963, Geitastrand was merged with the municipalities of Orkanger, Orkdal, and Orkland to form a new, larger municipality of Orkdal. Before the merger, Geitastrand had 559 inhabitants.[4]

Name[edit]

The municipality is named Geitastrand after the old name for the area along the west shore of the Orkdalsfjorden. The name comes from the old Geita farm which is located at the headland where the Orkdalsfjorden and Trondheimsfjorden meet. The first element is derived from geit which means "goat". The last element comes from the word strǫnd which means "shoreline".[5] Historically, the name of the municipality was spelled Gjeitestranden. On 3 November 1917, a royal resolution changed the spelling of the name of the municipality to Gjeitestrand, removing the definite form ending -en.[6] On 1 October 1921, the spelling of the name was changed to Geitastrand.[7]

During its existence, this municipality was governed by a municipal councilofelected representatives, which in turn electedamayor.[8]
