Byneset is a former municipality in the old Sør-Trøndelag county in Norway. The 78.5-square-kilometre (30.3 sq mi) municipality existed from 1838 until its dissolution in 1964. The municipality of Byneset encompassed the western part of what is now Trondheim Municipality in Trøndelag county. Byneset Municipality was located along an arm of the Trondheimsfjord and it was separated from the city of Trondheim by the Bymarka recreation area. The local Byneset Church is one of the oldest stone churches in Norway. The largest village in Byneset was Spongdal which was the administrative centre of the municipality. Other villages included Byneset and Langørjan.[6]

Prior to its dissolution in 1964, the 78.5-square-kilometre (30.3 sq mi) municipality was the 548th largest by area out of the 689 municipalities in Norway. Byneset Municipality was the 437th most populous municipality in Norway with a population of about 2,008. The municipality's population density was 25.6 inhabitants per square kilometre (66/sq mi) and its population had increased by 4.7% over the previous 10-year period.[7][8]

General information

Byneset Church

The municipality of Byneset was established on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law). According to the 1835 census, there were 2,143 people living in the area that became Byneset Municipality.[9] In 1855, the part of the municipality located south of the Gaulosen bay (population: 841) was separated to become the new Buvik Municipality. This left Byneset Municipality with a population of 2,109.[10]

During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, there was a major municipal merger: Byneset Municipality (population: 2,049), Leinstrand Municipality (population: 4,193), Strinda Municipality (population: 44,600), Tiller Municipality (population: 3,595), and the city of Trondheim (population: 56,982) were merged to form the new Trondheim Municipality which would have a total population of 111,419.[10]

Name

The municipality is named Bynes or Byneset since this has been the name for the area since the mid-1400s. The first element is the name of the old By farm (Old Norse: býr) which means "farm". The last element is the old name (1400s and earlier) for the medieval parish for this area, Nes, which is the word for "headland" (because this area is located on a headland between the Trondheimsfjorden and Gaulosen fjord.[11]

Churches

The Church of Norway had one parish (sokn) within Byneset Municipality. At the time of the municipal dissolution, it was part of the Byneset prestegjeld and the Heimdal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nidaros.[8]

Geography

The municipality was located on the Byneset peninsula, just west of the city of Trondheim. It was bordered by Trondheim Municipality, Strinda Municipality, and Leinstrand Municipality to the east. The Trondheimsfjorden was to the north, Orkdalsfjorden to the west, and the Gaulosen bay to the south. The highest point in the municipality was the 565-metre (1,854 ft) tall mountain Storheia.[1]

Government

While it existed, Byneset Municipality was responsible for primary education (through 10th grade), outpatient health services, senior citizen services, welfare and other social services, zoning, economic development, and municipal roads and utilities. The municipality was governed by a municipal council of directly elected representatives. The mayor was indirectly elected by a vote of the municipal council.[12] The municipality was under the jurisdiction of the Frostating Court of Appeal.
