History

[edit]

The municipality of Varhaug was established in 1894 when the old municipality ofHå was divided into two municipalities:Nærbø (population: 1801) and Varhaug (population: 1806). On 1 January 1964, there were many major municipal mergers in Norway due to the work of theSchei Committee. On that date the three neighboring municipalities of Varhaug, Nærbø, andOgna were all merged to form the municipality ofHå. The village ofVarhaug became the administrative centre for the new, larger municipality. Prior to the merger, Varhaug municipality had a population of 3,454.[4]

Name

[edit]

The municipality (originally theparish) is named after the oldVarhaug farm (Old Norse:Varhaugr) since the firstVarhaug Church was built there. The first element is likely the wordvǫr which means "row of stones" (such as a stone jetty) or "pile of stones" (such as after a landslide). The last element ishaugr which means "burial mound" or "cairn".[5]
