Kvikne is a former municipality in the old Hedmark county, Norway. The 1,154-square-kilometre (446 sq mi) municipality existed from 1838 until its dissolution in 1966. The area is now divided between Tynset Municipality in Innlandet county and Rennebu Municipality in Trøndelag county. The area was one of the northernmost parts of the traditional district of Østerdalen. The administrative centre was the village of Kvikne where Kvikne Church is located.[6]

Prior to its dissolution in 1966, the 1,154-square-kilometre (446 sq mi) municipality was the 85th largest by area out of the 466 municipalities in Norway. Kvikne Municipality was the 422nd most populous municipality in Norway with a population of about 1,092. The municipality's population density was 0.9 inhabitants per square kilometre (2.3/sq mi) and its population had decreased by 13.3% over the previous 10-year period.[7][8]

Copper mining and soapstone quarries were historically significant industries in the municipality.[6]

General information

Kvikne was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law). The borders never changed during the existence of the municipality, which is fairly unusual in Norway.[9]

During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. Kvikne Municipality was dissolved on 1 January 1966 and its lands were divided between two neighboring municipalities. The 952-square-kilometre (368 sq mi) Kvikne parish in the south (population: 664) was merged into Tynset Municipality in Hedmark county and the 201-square-kilometre (78 sq mi) Innset parish in the north (population: 420) was incorporated into Rennebu Municipality in Sør-Trøndelag county. A few years later in 1970, the border was adjusted again with the Garlia farm (population: 5) being transferred from Tynset Municipality to Rennebu Municipality.[6][9][10]

Name

[edit]

The municipality (originally the parish) is named Kvikne (Old Norse: Kviknar) which is an old name for the area. The name probably comes from the word kvikr which means "alive" or "lively". The name may be referring to the quick clay in the area.[6][11]

Churches

[edit]

The Church of Norway had two parishes (sokn) within Kvikne Municipality. At the time of the municipal dissolution, it was part of the Kvikne prestegjeld and the Nord-Østerdal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Hamar.[8]

Geography

[edit]

The mountain municipality was located in the northernmost part of the old Hedmark county. Tolga-Os Municipality was located to the east, Tynset Municipality was located to the southeast, Folldal Municipality was located to the southwest, Oppdal Municipality was located to the west (in Sør-Trøndelag county), Rennebu Municipality was located to the northwest (in Sør-Trøndelag county), and Sokndal Municipality and Budal Municipality were located to the northeast (both in Sør-Trøndelag county). The highest point in the municipality was the 1,524-metre (5,000 ft) tall mountain Marsjøfjellet, located on the border with Folldal Municipality.[1]

Government

[edit]

While it existed, Kvikne Municipality was responsible for primary education (through 10th grade), outpatient health services, senior citizen services, welfare and other social services, zoning, economic development, and municipal roads and utilities. The municipality was governed by a municipal council of directly elected representatives. The mayor was indirectly elected by a vote of the municipal council.[12] The municipality was under the jurisdiction of the Eidsivating Court of Appeal.
