'''Rennesøy''' is a [[List of former municipalities of Norway|former municipality]] in [[Rogaland]] county, [[Norway]]. It was merged into [[Stavanger]] municipality on 1 January 2020. It was located in the [[Traditional districts of Norway|traditional district]] of [[Ryfylke]]. The [[administrative centre]] of the municipality is the village of [[Vikevåg]]. Other villages in Rennesøy included [[Askje]] and [[Sørbø]]. The municipality encompassed a number of islands on the south side of the [[Boknafjorden]], north of the city of [[Stavanger]]. |
|||
At the time of its dissolution, the {{convert|66|km2|adj=on}} municipality was the 404th largest by area out of the 422 municipalities in Norway. Rennesøy was the 207th most populous municipality in Norway with a population of 4,892. The municipality's [[population density]] is {{convert|75.4|PD/km2}} and its population has increased by 38.7% over the last decade.<ref name="ssb pop">{{Cite web |last=Statistisk sentralbyrå |author-link=Statistics Norway |year=2017 |title=Table: 06913: Population 1 January and population changes during the calendar year (M) |url=https://www.ssb.no/statistikkbanken/selectvarval/Define.asp?subjectcode=&ProductId=&MainTable=Folkemengd1951&nvl=&PLanguage=1&nyTmpVar=true&CMSSubjectArea=befolkning&KortNavnWeb=folkendrhist&StatVariant=&checked=true |access-date=2017-11-04 |language=no}}</ref> |

The parish of ''Rennesø'' was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see [[formannskapsdistrikt]] law). On 1 July 1884, the municipality was split in two with the islands of [[Mosterøy (island)|Mosterøy]], [[Klosterøy]], [[Fjøløy]], [[Kvitsøy (island)|Kvitsøy]], and the western part of [[Åmøy]] forming the new municipality of [[Mosterøy]], and the islands of [[Rennesøy (island)|Rennesøy]] and [[Brimse]] remained as Rennesøy municipality. This split left Rennesøy with 1,092 residents, less than half of its previous population. The island of [[Kvitsøy]] later became an independent municipality of its own.<ref name="Dag">{{Cite book |last=Jukvam |first=Dag |year=1999 |title=Historisk oversikt over endringer i kommune- og fylkesinndelingen |url=http://www.ssb.no/emner/00/90/rapp_9913/rapp_9913.pdf |publisher=[[Statistics Norway|Statistisk sentralbyrå]] |language=no |isbn=9788253746845}}</ref> |
|||
On 1 July 1918, the Hanasand area of the neighboring municipality of [[Finnøy]] (population: 72) that was located on the island of [[Rennesøy (island)|Rennesøy]] was transferred to Rennesøy municipality.<ref name="Dag" /> |
|||
During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the [[Schei Committee]]. On 1 January 1965, the municipality of Mosterøy was merged back into Rennesøy. Prior to the merger, Rennesøy had 1,370 residents.<ref name="Dag" /> |
|||
On 1 January 2020, the municipalities of [[Finnøy]], Rennesøy, and [[Stavanger]] were merge into one, large municipality called Stavanger.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Om nye Stavanger |url=http://nye.stavanger.kommune.no/om-nye-stavanger/ |access-date=2017-11-04 |language=no}}</ref> |
|||
===Name=== |
|||
The municipality (originally the [[prestegjeld|parish]]) is named after the main island of the municipality, [[Rennesøy (island)|Rennesøy]] ({{langx|non|Rennisøy}}). The meaning of the first element is unknown. One possibility is that it comes from the word {{wikt-lang|non|rani}} which means "[[snout]]", likely referring to the shape of the mountain Hodnafjellet on the southeast part of the island. The last element is {{wikt-lang|no|øy}} which means "[[island]]".<ref>{{Cite book |last=Rygh |first=Oluf |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=u4pBAAAAIAAJ |title=Norske gaardnavne: Stavanger amt |date=1915 |publisher=W. C. Fabritius & sønners bogtrikkeri |edition=10 |location=Kristiania, Norge |page=257 |language=no |authorlink=Oluf Rygh}}</ref><ref name="snl" /> Historically, the name of the municipality was spelled ''Rennesø''. On 3 November 1917, a [[royal decree|royal resolution]] changed the spelling of the name of the municipality to ''Rennesøy''. The letter ''y'' was added to the end of the word to "Norwegianize" the name ({{lang|da|ø}} is the Danish word for "island" and {{lang|no|øy}} is the Norwegian word).<ref>{{Cite journal |year=1917 |title=Norsk Lovtidende. 2den Afdeling. 1917.

===Coat of arms=== |
|||
The [[coat of arms]] was granted on 20 February 1981. The official [[blazon]] is ''"[[Azure (heraldry)|Azure]], two [[crosiers]] [[addorsed]] [[argent]]"'' ({{langx|no|I blått to oppveksande adosserte sølv krumstavar}}). This means the arms have a blue [[field (heraldry)|field]] (background) and the [[charge (heraldry)|charge]] is a set of two [[crosiers]] standing vertically and mirroring each other. The charge has a [[tincture (heraldry)|tincture]] of [[argent]] which means it is commonly colored white, but if it is made out of metal, then silver is used. The blue represents the ocean, an important feature for this island municipality. The crosiers represent the importance of Norway's oldest and best preserved [[Monastery|monasteries]], [[Utstein Abbey]], located in the municipality. It was originally an Augustinian monastery, its abbot having a crozier as its symbol. Since [[Basel, Switzerland]] already had a crozier on its coat of arms, Rennesøy chose a design with two of them so that it would be different. The arms were designed by Svein Magnus Håvarstein. The municipal flag has the same design as the coat of arms.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Civic heraldry of Norway - Norske Kommunevåpen |url=https://www.heraldry-wiki.com/heraldrywiki/index.php?title=Rennesøy |access-date=2023-07-07 |publisher=Heraldry of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Rennesøy, Rogaland (Norway) |url=https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/no-11-42.html |access-date=2023-07-07 |website=Flags of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=1981-04-11 |title=Godkjenning av våpen og flagg |url=https://lovdata.no/dokument/LFO/forskrift/1981-02-20-3739 |access-date=2023-07-07 |website=Lovdata.no |publisher=Norges kommunal- og arbeidsdepartementet |language=no}}</ref> |

==Geography== |
|||
The island municipality sat on the south side of the large [[Boknafjorden]]. It consists of about 80 islands, most of which are uninhabited. The main islands are [[Rennesøy (island)|Rennesøy]], [[Mosterøy (island)|Mosterøy]], [[Klosterøy]], [[Fjøløy]], [[Sokn]], [[Bru, Rogaland|Bru]], [[Brimse]], and the western part of [[Åmøy]] (the eastern part is part of [[Stavanger]] municipality). All of the main islands are connected together and to the mainland by a series of bridges and tunnels (except for Brimse which has a ferry connection). The [[Fjøløy Lighthouse]] is located in the northwestern part of the municipality, lighting a main shipping channel to Stavanger.<ref name="snl" /> |

Rennesøy is a former municipality in Rogaland county, Norway. It was merged into Stavanger municipality on 1 January 2020. It was located in the traditional district of Ryfylke. The administrative centre of the municipality is the village of Vikevåg. Other villages in Rennesøy included Askje and Sørbø. The municipality encompassed a number of islands on the south side of the Boknafjorden, north of the city of Stavanger.
At the time of its dissolution, the 66-square-kilometre (25 sq mi) municipality was the 404th largest by area out of the 422 municipalities in Norway. Rennesøy was the 207th most populous municipality in Norway with a population of 4,892. The municipality's population density is 75.4 inhabitants per square kilometre (195/sq mi) and its population has increased by 38.7% over the last decade.[4]
General information
[edit]The parish of Rennesø was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law). On 1 July 1884, the municipality was split in two with the islands of Mosterøy, Klosterøy, Fjøløy, Kvitsøy, and the western part of Åmøy forming the new municipality of Mosterøy, and the islands of Rennesøy and Brimse remained as Rennesøy municipality. This split left Rennesøy with 1,092 residents, less than half of its previous population. The island of Kvitsøy later became an independent municipality of its own.[5]
On 1 July 1918, the Hanasand area of the neighboring municipality of Finnøy (population: 72) that was located on the island of Rennesøy was transferred to Rennesøy municipality.[5]
During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1965, the municipality of Mosterøy was merged back into Rennesøy. Prior to the merger, Rennesøy had 1,370 residents.[5]
On 1 January 2020, the municipalities of Finnøy, Rennesøy, and Stavanger were merge into one, large municipality called Stavanger.[6]
Name
[edit]The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the main island of the municipality, Rennesøy (Old Norse: Rennisøy). The meaning of the first element is unknown. One possibility is that it comes from the word rani which means "snout", likely referring to the shape of the mountain Hodnafjellet on the southeast part of the island. The last element is øy which means "island".[7][8] Historically, the name of the municipality was spelled Rennesø. On 3 November 1917, a royal resolution changed the spelling of the name of the municipality to Rennesøy. The letter y was added to the end of the word to "Norwegianize" the name (ø is the Danish word for "island" and øy is the Norwegian word).[9]
Coat of arms
[edit]The coat of arms was granted on 20 February 1981. The official blazon is "Azure, two crosiers addorsed argent" (Norwegian: I blått to oppveksande adosserte sølv krumstavar). This means the arms have a blue field (background) and the charge is a set of two crosiers standing vertically and mirroring each other. The charge has a tincture of argent which means it is commonly colored white, but if it is made out of metal, then silver is used. The blue represents the ocean, an important feature for this island municipality. The crosiers represent the importance of Norway's oldest and best preserved monasteries, Utstein Abbey, located in the municipality. It was originally an Augustinian monastery, its abbot having a crozier as its symbol. Since Basel, Switzerland already had a crozier on its coat of arms, Rennesøy chose a design with two of them so that it would be different. The arms were designed by Svein Magnus Håvarstein. The municipal flag has the same design as the coat of arms.[10][11][12]
Churches
[edit]The Church of Norway had two parishes (sokn) within the municipality of Rennesøy. It was part of the Tungenes prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Stavanger.
Parish (sokn) | Church name | Location of the church | Year built |
---|---|---|---|
Mosterøy | Askje Church | Askje, Mosterøy island | 1846 |
Utstein Church | Klosterøy island | 1280 | |
Vestre Åmøy Chapel | Åmøy island (western side) | 1953 | |
Rennesøy | Hausken Church | Vikevåg, Rennesøy island | 1857 |
Sørbø Church | Sørbø, Rennesøy island | 1130 |
Geography
[edit]The island municipality sat on the south side of the large Boknafjorden. It consists of about 80 islands, most of which are uninhabited. The main islands are Rennesøy, Mosterøy, Klosterøy, Fjøløy, Sokn, Bru, Brimse, and the western part of Åmøy (the eastern part is part of Stavanger municipality). All of the main islands are connected together and to the mainland by a series of bridges and tunnels (except for Brimse which has a ferry connection). The Fjøløy Lighthouse is located in the northwestern part of the municipality, lighting a main shipping channel to Stavanger.[8]
