History

edit

The parish of Børsa was established as a civil municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt). On 1 January 1890, the municipality was divided into two: Børseskognen (population: 1,410) in the south and Børsa (population: 2,300) in the north. On 1 January 1905, the area of northwest of the Orkdalsfjorden (population: 674) was separated to become the new municipality of Geitastrand and the area southeast of the fjord remained as Børsa with a population of 1,420. This shrunk the municipality of Børsa from 180 square kilometres (69 sq mi) to only 61 square kilometres (24 sq mi).[3][5]

During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1965, the neighboring municipalities of Børsa (population: 1,476), Skaun (population: 1,251), and Buvik (population: 1,267) were merged to form the new, larger municipality of Skaun.[5]

Name

edit

The municipality (originally the parish) is named after local bay (Old Norse: Birgsi) that lies along the village of Børsa. The first element is a derivative of the word bjarg which means "cliff" or "rock". The last element is the suffix -si which has an uncertain meaning.[6] Historically, the name of the municipality was spelled Børsen. On 3 November 1917, a royal resolution changed the spelling of the name of the municipality to Børsa.[7]

Government

edit

During its existence, this municipality was governed by a municipal council of elected representatives, which in turn elected a mayor.[8]
