For the island in Arendal, Norway, see Trom\u00f8ya.Former municipality in Aust-Agder, Norway       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Trom\u00f8y (historic: Trom\u00f8) is a former municipality in the old Aust-Agder county in Norway. The 30-square-kilometre (12\u00a0sq\u00a0mi) municipality existed from 1878 until its dissolution in 1992. The municipal area is now part of the municipality of Arendal in Agder county. The administrative centre was the village of Brekka, where the historic Trom\u00f8y Church is located. The municipality encompassed all of the island of Trom\u00f8ya as well as many smaller surrounding islands such as Merd\u00f8, Gjes\u00f8ya, Skils\u00f8y, and Tromlingene.[1]The municipality had two churches: the centuries-old Trom\u00f8y Church and the relatively new F\u00e6rvik Church. Some of the main villages in Trom\u00f8y were F\u00e6rvik, Brekka, Brattekleiv, Sandnes, Revesand, and Pusnes. The municipality was connected to the mainland by the Trom\u00f8y Bridge, the only road connection to Trom\u00f8ya. The other islands of Trom\u00f8y were only accessible by boat.Table of Contents       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4History[edit]Name[edit]Coat of arms[edit]Government[edit]Municipal council[edit]Media gallery[edit]See also[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]History[edit]The municipality of Trom\u00f8y was established on 1\u00a0May 1878 when the municipality of \u00d8stre Moland was divided into three municipalities: Trom\u00f8y (population: 2,320), Barbu (population: 4,874), and \u00d8stre Moland (population: 2,524). On 1\u00a0January 1992 there was a major municipal merger where the following municipalities were merged into the municipality of Arendal: Trom\u00f8y (population: 4,711), Moland (population: 8,148), \u00d8yestad (population: 8,679), His\u00f8y (population: 4,026), and the town of Arendal (population: 12,478).[3]Name[edit]The municipality (originally the parish) was named after its island Trom\u00f8ya. Historically it was spelled Trom\u00f8, but more recently it has been spelled Trom\u00f8y. The name comes from the Old Norse \u00deruma, which means “rim”, “edge”, or “border”. The suffix -\u00f8 or \u00f8y means “island”.[4]Coat of arms[edit]The coat of arms was granted on 23 August 1985 and in use until the municipal merger on 1 January 1992. The official blazon is “Per fess nebuly argent and azure” (Norwegian: Delt av s\u00f8lv og bl\u00e5tt ved skysnitt). This means the arms have a field (background) that is divided in half horizontally with a nebuly line. The top part 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 bottom part is colored blue. The design is meant to mimic the coastline near the village of Brekka, which is characterised by large rounded boulders protruding out into the sea. This landscape dates back to the Ice Age and was used to model the division line in the coat of arms. The arms are also canting since the name of the municipality is derived from the word “Trom” (Old Norse: \u00deroma) which means “edge” or “rim”, referring to the division line on the arms and the boulders along the sea. The arms were designed by Anne Marie Falck.[5][6][7]Government[edit]All municipalities in Norway, including Trom\u00f8y, are responsible for primary education (through 10th grade), outpatient health services, senior citizen services, unemployment and other social services, zoning, economic development, and municipal roads. The municipality was governed by a municipal council of elected representatives, which in turn elected a mayor.[8]Municipal council[edit]The municipal council (Kommunestyre) of Trom\u00f8y was made up of 21 representatives that were elected to four year terms.  The party breakdown of the final municipal council was as follows:Media gallery[edit]Spornes headland on Trom\u00f8yaSee also[edit]References[edit]External links[edit] Arendal travel guide from Wikivoyage     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/tromoy-wikipedia\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Trom\u00f8y – Wikipedia"}}]}]
