Flå is a former municipality in the old Sør-Trøndelag county, Norway. The approximately 110-square-kilometre (42 sq mi) municipality existed from 1880 until its dissolution in 1964. Flå was located in the eastern part of what is now the municipality of Melhus in Trøndelag county. The administrative centre was the village of Ler. The main church for the area is Flå Church. [3]
History
The municipality of Flaa was established in 1880 when the municipality of Melhus was divided into two. The new municipality of Flaa had an initial population of 614. The spelling was later changed to Flå. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, the neighboring municipalities of Hølonda (population: 1,428), Horg (population: 2,560), Flå (population: 843), Melhus (population: 3,978), and the Langørgen farm (population: 11) in Buvik were all merged to form a new, larger municipality of Melhus. [4]
Name
The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Flå farm ( Old Norse: Flár) since the first Flå Church was built there. The name is the plural form of flá which means "a flat ledge on a mountainside". [5] On 21 December 1917, a royal resolution enacted the 1917 Norwegian language reforms. Prior to this change, the name was spelled Flaa with the digraph " aa", and after this reform, the name was spelled Flå, using the letter å instead. [6] [7]
Government
During its existence, this municipality was governed by a municipal council of elected representatives, which in turn elected a mayor. [8]
