Nordfjordeid is the administrative centre of the municipality of Stad in Vestland county, western Norway. It is located at the end of the Eidsfjorden, an arm of the main Nordfjorden, west of the large lake Hornindalsvatnet. The village of Stårheim is located about 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) to the west, the village of Mogrenda is about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) to the east, and the village of Lote is about 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) to the southeast.
The town is a commercial hub for the municipality and greater Nordfjord region. It includes several industries, such as timber, agriculture, electronics and commerce. It is the shopping hub for surrounding villages and towns, due to the shopping center and commerce streets. There are five primary schools, one lower secondary school and an upper secondary school connected to the Opera House in the town.
Eid Church is also located in the town and it is the main church for the municipality. The European route E39 highway passes by Nordfjordeid on its way from Bergen to Ålesund. Norwegian National Road 15 passes through the town on its way from Måløy to Otta. Nordfjordeid is located approximately nine hours from the national capital of Oslo, five hours from the city of Bergen, and three hours from the city of Ålesund by car. The closest airport, Sandane Airport, Anda (SNDL) is 45 minutes from the town.
The 2.32-square-kilometre (570-acre) town has a population (2018) of 2,974 and a population density of 1,282 inhabitants per square kilometre (3,320/sq mi).[1]
Etymology
[edit]During the Viking Age, Nordfjordeid was referred to as Eygis or Eid, meaning the inner most part of a fjord. Nordfjord directly translated means 'North Fjord'. The kingdom of Firda was known as the kingdom of the fjords, and was divided into Sunnfjord and Nordfjord, meaning South Fjord and North Fjord. In old Norse the administrative region of Nordfjord was referred to Nyrðri hlutr sýsla and later Nordfjorð sýsla at the time of the Gulating.
Thus Nordfjordeid is a literal description of the location of the town: the inner part of the northern fjord.
History
[edit]Pre History
[edit]Old Stone age
[edit]The oldest archeological discovery made in Nordfjordeid is over 6,000 years old. An axe from the Paleolithic Period. The area was well suited for fishing and hunting during the Stone Age, however little is known about human activity during this period.[3]
Neolithic and Bronze age
[edit]During the late Stone Age, there was a transition from hunter-gatherer societies to agriculture. In Nordfjordeid there is archeological evidence of human settlements dating back to the late Neolithic and Bronze Age. Remains of pits used for cooking, firepits, stone axes, technical production establishments, and up to ten huts have been discovered in the area known as Golvsengane. This is believed to be the predecessor settlement to the Myklebust farm that was central during the later Iron and Viking Ages.[4]
Viking age
[edit]During the 7th century, the farm Myklebust (mykill) was the home of the Viking king, Audbjörn Frøybjørnsson, who ruled the kingdom of Firda (Firðafylkí). Myklebust was the largest farm in Nordfjordeid (Eygis) and the center of power in Firda. Based on archeological evidence it is assumed that Nordfjordeid was the home of a family dynasty that ruled the area for centuries prior. The inhabitants were known as Norðfirðir, and were mainly farmers and merchants. There were archeological finds of Saxon objects that originated from Ireland, thus it is believed that the Vikings of the farm participated in the Great Heathen Army, that conquered eastern Mercia during the 8th century. Nordfjordeid was strategically well placed, with large amounts of land available for agriculture, timber and other natural resources. The residents could easily prepare for incoming attacks as the only way to arrive was through the Eidsfjord, offering many vantage points, allowing early warnings when unknown travelers were spotted. Being close to the coast made travel easy, both north and south in Norway, and also toward England.
Death of King Audbjörn
[edit]Audbjörn was killed during the second battle of Solskjel in 870 against Harald Hairfair. Harald was on a quest to unite Norway under one rule leading to the Unification of Norway. Audbjörn wanted to maintain the current structure of petty kingdoms in Norway, in order to maintain his power. When news arrived that Harald was marching south from Trondheim, with a massive army; Audbjörn and King Arnvid of Sunnmøre gathered an army to defend their territories. A massive battle ensued with many casualties on both sides. Both kings fell during the battle.
Audbjörn was returned home to Nordfjordeid, and buried in the gravemound known as "Rundehogjen" with the original Myklebust Ship. Excavations of the burial mound in 1864 resulted in the findings of a male skeleton aged approximately 25–35 with shoulder damage resulting from a sword or axe. The age of the ship and skeleton date back to the late 800s, confirming that Audbjörn was buried in the location.
Siege of Mørejarl Ragnvald
[edit]After the death of Audbjörn, his half brother Vemund Kamban became the ruler of Firda by birthright. Vemund rallied the remaining men in preparation for Harald arriving at Stad the next spring. Harald elected not to travel further south during the Autumn due to the challenging conditions in the area.
Instead his ally, Jarl Ragnvald of Møre was instructed to defeat Vemund. He sent spies over the mountains to report of Vemund.
Later the same year, there was a large gathering at the Naustdal farm, 10 km from Nordfjordeid. Vemund and 90 of his men participated in festivities at the farm. There was a large banquet, when Jarl Ragnvald traveled to the farm during the night aware of Vemunds location due to his spies. Ragnvald and his men set fire to the building where all of Vemunds men were sleeping. Killing them all, along with the King. This ended the reign of the Myklebust dynasty, and Harald successfully took control.[5]
Middle ages
[edit]Shift to Christianity
[edit]During the Middle Ages there was a shift to Christianity. Nordfjordeid was Christianized when King Olav Tryggvason in 997 called a meeting with the peasants of the area. The peasants arrived peacefully, but were met by Olav and his army. The peasants were given the choice of converting to Christianity or death. Faced with overwhelming force, the peasants converted, resulting in Nordfjordeid and surrounding areas becoming Christian.[6]
Queen Ingerid Ragnvaldsdotter and the Stodrheim dynasty
[edit]Árni Ívarsson á Stoðreimi (Arne of Stodrheim) was named Lendmann of Bergenhus Len by the king. Today Stodrheim is known as the village Stårheim.
Arne was the godfather of King Magnus Erlingson (Magnus V of Norway). He married Queen Ingerid Ragnvaldsdotter of Norway around 1140, as her fourth husband. Ingerid received the title Queen Consort as she was previously married to King Harald Gille.
Queen Ingerid settled in Stårheim (Stodrheim) 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) from Nordfjordeid. Arne controlled the entire Western coast of Norway from his home in Stårheim. Ingerid was later murdered in an attack by a rival clan.[7] The Stårheim dynasty continued to be influential throughout the Middle Ages. Bishop Nicholas Arnesson was among the children of Arne and Ingerid.
Stave church and burning of the Myklebust farm
[edit]Around 1000 the first church in Nordfjordeid was erected on the Myklebust farm, on the same grounds the Vikings had their place of worship. This was a stave church, described as well decorated. It was dedicated to Mary Magdalene and named the St. Mary Church. This church at the time acted as the regional administrative center, strengthening the power of the Myklebust farm.[6]
The church was lost when the entire Myklebust farm burned to the ground in the early 1200s. A new church was erected in the 13th century, in Mel slightly north of Myklebust.[8] During this period the town acted as a harbor, all trade and communication with Bergen to the eastern parts of Nordfjord went through Nordfjordeid.
Barons and Bjørgvin
[edit]During the later Middle Ages the Myklebust farm was part of the Nordfjord Estate. Owned by Baron Audun Hugleiksson. In 1306 the Barons were abolished by the King, who took control over their fiefs and other possessions. In 1361 the King turned over control of the Nordfjord Estate to the Lensherre og Bjørgvin.
Military age
[edit]Nordfjordeid was transformed during the 1600−1800s from a mainly agricultural society to one more focused on trade. The Myklebust farm was during this period owned by the priest Jens Bugge and his heirs. It was gradually split into several smaller farms. By 1863 the Myklebust farm had been divided into a total of eight.
Establishment of the Military training grounds
[edit]In the early 1600s there was established a military training ground in Nordfjordeid, on the Osnes farm. The grounds were used to train soldiers from surrounding areas. The establishment was responsible for training around 300 soldiers annually. During battalion training there could have been up to 1200−1500 soldiers in the area. The soldiers rented private property during training; this had a large positive impact on the local economy, leading to economic growth in the town. In modern times the military training ground is known as Malakoff. A rock festival with the same name is held there annually.
Trade boom
[edit]Tradesmen within areas such as bakers, shoemakers and smiths enjoyed massively increased revenue. This led to the formation of the old town street, known as Eidsgata. Filled with shops, and residential buildings.[9] The first trade business is believed to have been established in 1638 on the Gjerde farm.
World War II
[edit]Early in the Second World War, in April 1940, a defense battalion of 110 soldiers was stationed at the military training grounds in Nordfjordeid, ordered there by General Steffens as part of the forces mobilized for defence the West Coast from the German invasion. The war for the West Coast ended on 1 May 1940 when Steffens fled north from Sandane when overwhelmed by the invading forces.
British escape
[edit]British soldiers fled to Nordfjordeid through Stryn, by walking over the mountains, attempting to get to the coast after the battles in Gudbrandsdalen. Twenty-nine soldiers were smuggled from Nordfjordeid to the coast where they were saved by British warships.
Nazi war school
[edit]Once the German occupation of Norway was under way, the Germans constructed installations to house up to 1000 soldiers in Nordfjordeid. From 1943 the training grounds at Nordfjordeid became a war school for the Wehrmacht. The school was known as Kampfschule Nordfjordeid. It was a recruit school, and also offered anti-tank courses, skiing courses and educated petty officers.[10]
Weapon smuggling
[edit]The Norwegian resistance movement established an arms smuggling route from the island of Silda to Nordfjordeid. From Norfjordeid the route fed into the eastern parts of Norway.[11] The activity was discovered in 1943, three men from Nordfjordeid were arrested by Gestapo and sent to a Nazi concentration camp.[12]
The bombing of Wartheland
[edit]On 12 December 1944, twenty-three allied aircraft participated in a bombing campaign targeting a German ship convoy stationed close to Nordfjordeid. The convoy consisted of three trade ships and two military escort ships. They were traveling from Ålesund to Bergen.
20 de Havilland DH.98 Mosquito aircraft attacked the convoy. The 4,000-ton Wartheland was hit, capsizing less than 200 meters from the Nordfjordeid shoreline. Three German soldiers were killed in the attack. The wreckage can still be found today in the fjord.[13]
Nazi capitulation
[edit]After the Nazi capitulation in 1945 the remaining German soldiers stationed in Sogn og Fjordane, were all sent to Nordfjordeid, before returning to Germany. The soldiers were forced to build a football field in Nordfjordeid before returning.[11]
