History

[edit]
Map of Jøssund in 1960

The municipality of Jøssund was established on 1 January 1896 when it was split off from the large municipality of Aafjord. Initially, Jøssund had a population of 1,529.[3]

During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, the municipality of Jøssund (population: 1,917) was merged with the neighboring municipalities of Bjugn (population: 1,240), Nes (population: 1,107), and the northern part of Stjørna (population: 676) to form a new, larger municipality of Bjugn.[3]

Name

[edit]

The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Jøssund farm (Old Norse: Mjórsund). The first element comes from the word mjór which means "narrow" or "thin". The old name did originally start with an "m", but over time the initial letter disappeared from the spelling and pronunciation (sometime before the early 16th century). The last element is sund which means "sound" or "strait". Historically, the name's spelling has varied. In the 1500s and 1600s it was spelled Jußund using the letter ß, and by the 1700s, it was written in its current form.[4]

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 councilofelected representatives, which in turn electedamayor.[5]
