'''Ytterøy''' is a [[List of former municipalities of Norway|former municipality]] in the old [[Nord-Trøndelag]] county, [[Norway]]. The municipality existed from 1838 until its dissolution in 1964. Originally, it was a large municipality that encompassed the island of [[Ytterøya]] and parts of the mainland to the northwest of the island on the west side of the [[Trondheimsfjord]]. By 1964 when it was dissolved, Ytterøy only included the {{convert|28|km2}} island of [[Ytterøya]]. Since 1964, the island has been part of what is now the municipality of [[Levanger]] in [[Trøndelag]] county. The island is connected to the rest of Levanger by a ferry that crosses the [[Trondheimsfjord]]. The main church for the municipality was [[Ytterøy Church]].
The island has an approximate population of 500. It is 13.5km long and 4.3km wide at its widest point. It has a total area of around 28 square kilometers. At its highest point it is 210 meters above [[sea level]]. The island is famous for its dense deer population, and a popular hunting area for hunters from Scandinavia and Germany.


==The name==
==History==
[[File:YtteroyChurch.jpg|thumb|left|Ytterøy Church]]
The [[Old Norse]] forms of the name was ''Ýtriøy'' and ''Øyin ýtri''. The meaning of the name is 'the outer island' (related to [[Inderøy]]). In the middle of the 19'th century phosphore was exported to all of Europe from the mines here.
The [[prestegjeld]] of Ytterøy was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see [[formannskapsdistrikt]] law). On 1 January 1867, the mainland part of the municipality was separated from Ytterøy to form the new municipality of [[Mosvik og Verran]] (population: 2,949). This left a much smaller municipality of Ytterøy with 1,499 residents living on the island of [[Ytterøya]]. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the [[Schei Committee]]. On 1 January 1964, the municipality of Ytterøy was merged with the neighboring municipality of [[Levanger]]. Prior to the merger, Ytterøy had 772 residents.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Jukvam |first=Dag |url=http://www.ssb.no/emner/00/90/rapp_9913/rapp_9913.pdf |title=Historisk oversikt over endringer i kommune- og fylkesinndelingen |publisher=[[Statistics Norway|Statistisk sentralbyrå]] |year=1999 |isbn=9788253746845 |language=no}}</ref>


===Name===
[[Category:Islands of Nord-Trøndelag]]
The municipality (originally the [[prestegjeld|parish]]) is named after the island of [[Ytterøya]] ({{langx|non|Øyin ýtri}}, or more recently {{lang|non|Ýtriøy}}) since the first [[Ytterøy Church]] was built there. The first element of the original name is the definite singular form of {{wikt-lang|no|øy}} which means "[[island]]". The last element is {{wikt-lang|non|ýtri}} which means "outer". Thus the meaning of the name is "the outer island" (as opposed to the nearby [[Inderøy]] which means "the inner island").<ref>{{Cite book |last=Rygh |first=Oluf |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_kFFxvxaufcC |title=Norske gaardnavne: Nordre Trondhjems amt |date=1903 |publisher=W.

Ytterøy is a former municipality in the old Nord-Trøndelag county, Norway. The municipality existed from 1838 until its dissolution in 1964. Originally, it was a large municipality that encompassed the island of Ytterøya and parts of the mainland to the northwest of the island on the west side of the Trondheimsfjord. By 1964 when it was dissolved, Ytterøy only included the 28 square kilometres (11 sq mi) island of Ytterøya. Since 1964, the island has been part of what is now the municipality of Levanger in Trøndelag county. The island is connected to the rest of Levanger by a ferry that crosses the Trondheimsfjord. The main church for the municipality was Ytterøy Church.

History

[edit]
Ytterøy Church

The prestegjeld of Ytterøy was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law). On 1 January 1867, the mainland part of the municipality was separated from Ytterøy to form the new municipality of Mosvik og Verran (population: 2,949). This left a much smaller municipality of Ytterøy with 1,499 residents living on the island of Ytterøya. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, the municipality of Ytterøy was merged with the neighboring municipality of Levanger. Prior to the merger, Ytterøy had 772 residents.[3]

Name

[edit]

The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the island of Ytterøya (Old Norse: Øyin ýtri, or more recently Ýtriøy) since the first Ytterøy Church was built there. The first element of the original name is the definite singular form of øy which means "island". The last element is ýtri which means "outer". Thus the meaning of the name is "the outer island" (as opposed to the nearby Inderøy which means "the inner island").[4] Historically, the name of the municipality was spelled Ytterøen. On 3 November 1917, a royal resolution changed the spelling of the name of the municipality to Ytterøy.[5]

Government

[edit]

While it existed, this municipality was responsible for primary education (through 10th grade), outpatient health services, senior citizen services, unemployment, social services, zoning, economic development, and municipal roads. During its existence, this municipality was governed by a municipal council of elected representatives, which in turn elected a mayor.[6]

Municipal council
