Herøy 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 Silvalen. The municipality is located about {{convert|15|km}} west of the town of Sandnessjøen.

The {{convert|64|km2|adj=on}} municipality is the 405th largest by area out of the 422 municipalities in Norway. Herøy is the 339th most populous municipality in Norway with a population of 1,790. The municipality's population density is {{convert|28.1|PD/km2}} and its population has increased by 6.4% over the last decade.[1][2]

General information

The municipality of Herøy was established in 1864 when it was separated from Alstahaug Municipality. Initially the population of Herøy was 2,438. On 1 July 1917, the northern district of Herøy (population: 1,530) was separated from Herøy to become the new municipality of Nordvik. This left Herøy with 2,555 residents.

During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1962 the part of Herøy on the island of Dønna (population: 19) was transferred to the new municipality of Dønna. On 1 January 1965 the Husvær/Sandværet island groups (population: 461) were transferred from Alstahaug to Herøy.[3]

Name

The municipality is named after the islands of Søndre Herøya and Nordre Herøya ({{lang-non|Herøyjar}}). The first element is herr which means "army" (here in the sense of skipaherr which means "military fleet") and the last element is the definite form of øy which means "island". The sound between the islands was probably a meeting place for the Leidang fleet of the district. Historically, the name was spelled Herø.[4][4]

Coat of arms

The coat of arms was granted on 3 July 1987. The arms show three gold-colored oars on a blue background. They symbolize the history of boating in the island municipality, and it also a canting of the name of the municipality which means a place where a fleet gathers.[5]
