The initial population of Skodje was 2,170. On 1 January 1902, the northern district of Skodje was separated to form the new Vatne Municipality. This left Skodje with 1,551 residents. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1965, there was a merger between Stordal Municipality, \u00d8rskog Municipality, and Skodje Municipality, creating a new, large \u00d8rskog Municipality. This was merger was short-lived. On 1 January 1977, the merger was reversed all three municipalities were separated once again. This left the newly reconstituted Skodje Municipality with a population of 2,634.[5]On 1 January 2020, the municipality of Skodje was merged with Haram Municipality, \u00d8rskog Municipality, Sand\u00f8y Municipality, and \u00c5lesund Municipality to form one large municipality of \u00c5lesund.[6]Name[edit]The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Skodje farm (Old Norse: Sk\u01eb\u00f0in) since the first Skodje Church was built there. The first element comes from the word ska\u00f0 which has an unknown meaning. The last element is vin which means “meadow” or “pasture”. Before 1879, the name was written Skoue.[7]Coat of arms[edit]The coat of arms was granted on 19 June 1987 and they were in use until the municipality was dissolved on 1 January 2020. The official blazon is “Vert, an arched embattled bridge Or” (Norwegian: P\u00e5 gr\u00f8n grunn ei gull kvelvingsbru med tindar). This means the arms have a green field (background) and the charge is an arched bridge design. The charge has a tincture of Or which means it is commonly colored yellow, but if it is made out of metal, then gold is used. The design was meant to mimic the local Skodje Bridge, a very old bridge which crosses over the Straumen river, a major architectural feat at its time. The arms were designed by Jarle Skuseth. The municipal flag has the same design as the coat of arms.[8][9][10]Churches[edit]The Church of Norway had one parish (sokn) within the municipality of Skodje. It was part of the Austre Sunnm\u00f8re prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of M\u00f8re.Churches in SkodjeParish (sokn)Church nameLocation of the churchYear builtSkodjeSkodje ChurchSkodje1860Geography[edit]The municipality of Skodje shared land borders with Haram Municipality to the north, Vestnes Municipality to the northeast, \u00d8rskog Municipality to the southeast, and \u00c5lesund Municipality to the west. Across the Storfjorden to the south was Sykkylven Municipality. Skodje municipality was located on the mainland and also on part of the island of Oksen\u00f8ya, plus many small surrounding islands.
