Vevelstad is a municipality in Nordland county, Norway. It is part of the Helgeland traditional region. The administrative centre of the municipality is the village of Forvika.

The {{convert|539|km2|adj=on}} municipality is the 201st largest by area out of the 422 municipalities in Norway. Vevelstad is the 418th most populous municipality in Norway with a population of 506. The municipality's population density is {{convert|1|PD/km2}} and its population has increased by 4.3% over the last decade.[1][2]

General information

The municipality of Vevelstad was established on 1 July 1916 when it was separated from the municipality of Tjøtta. Initially, the municipality had 1,097 residents. On 1 July 1920, the Giskå farm area (population: 10) was transferred from Tjøtta to Vevelstad. The borders have not changed since that time.[3]

Name

The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Vevelstad farm ({{lang-non|Vifilsstaðir}}), since the first Vevelstad Church was built there. The first element is the genitive case of the Norse male name Vifill and the last element is staðir which means "homestead" or "farm".[4]

Coat of arms

The coat of arms was granted on 13 November 1991. The arms are blue with three silver V shapes (two over one). The arms are canting, showing the first letter of the name of the municipality, V. The municipality applied for arms in the 1970s, but all the proposals were rejected by either the municipal council or the national archives. Finally, the present arms were adopted and granted in 1991.[5]

Churches

The Church of Norway has one parish ({{lang|no|sokn}}) within the municipality of Vevelstad. It is part of the Sør-Helgeland prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Sør-Hålogaland.

Geography

The municipality lies in the middle of Norway, surrounded by mountains and fjords. A lot of the municipality is a part of Lomsdal–Visten National Park. The lake Søre Vistvatnet lies in the southeastern part of the municipality inside the national park. Most of the residents live along the coastline or on the island Hamnøya. The mouth of the Velfjorden lies in the southern part of the municipality.
