General information

Stordal was established as a municipality on 1 January 1892 when it was separated from Stranda (to the south). The initial population of the municipality was 850. On 1 January 1965, the three municipalities of Ørskog, Skodje, and Stordal were merged into one large Ørskog municipality. Prior to the merger, there were 1,052 inhabitants in Stordal. The merger, however, was short-lived, and on 1 January 1977 it was reversed and the three municipalities were once again separated.^[3]

On 1 January 2020, the municipalities of Stordal and Norddal are scheduled to merge into a new municipality called Fjord.^[4]

Name

The Old Norse form of the name was Stóladalr. The first element is the plural genitive case of stóll which means "chair" and the last element is dalr which means "valley" or "dale". Two mountains around the valley have the name Stolen ("the chair"). Before 1918, the name was written Stordalen.^[5]

Coat of arms

The coat of arms is from modern times. They were granted on 30 August 1991. The arms show a gold pale on a blue background. The pale symbolises the forestry and furniture manufacturing in the municipality, which traditionally uses a dovetail system to join two pieces of wood. The same symbol also indicates the strong community feeling in the villages.^[6]
