History

[edit]
Part of the city park in Mosjøen, Vefsn municipality.

The municipality of Vefsn was established on 1 January 1838 (seeformannskapsdistrikt law). In 1862, the vast eastern district (population: 921) was separated from Vefsn Municipality to become the newHattfjelldal Municipality. This left Vefsn Municipality with 5,051 residents. In 1876, the town ofMosjøen (population: 379) was separated from Vefsn Municipality to become a separate town-municipality. This left Vefsn Municipality with 4,672 residents.[7]

In 1927, Vefsn Municipality was split into three: the small northern district (population: 964) became the newDrevja Municipality and the large southern district (population: 1,746) became the newGrane Municipality. After the split, Vefsn Municipality had 3,119 residents remaining. In 1939, a small area of Vefsn Municipality (population: 45) was transferred to neighboring town ofMosjøen.[7]

During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of theSchei Committee. On 1 January 1962, Vefsn Municipality (population: 5,358) was merged with the neighboring town of Mosjøen (population: 4,628) and the neighboringDrevja Municipality (population: 1,001) andElsfjord Municipality (population: 920) to form a new, larger Vefsn Municipality. On 1 January 1995, the mainland areas of the neighboringAlstahaug Municipality (population: 70) were transferred to Vefsn Municipality.[7]

Name

[edit]
The post office was named VEFSEN in 1859.

The municipality (originally theparish) is named after the riverVefsna (Old Norse:Vefsnar) which flows through the municipality into theVefsnfjorden (Old Norse:Vefsnir). The meaning of the river name is unknown, but it possibly comes from the old wordvefja which means "to wrap" or "to wind around".[8] Historically, the name of the municipality was spelledVefsen. On 3 November 1917, aroyal resolution changed the spelling of the name of the municipality toVefsn.[9]

Coat of arms

[edit]

Thecoat of arms was granted on 13 September 1974. The officialblazon is"Sable, a roosterargent armedgules" (Norwegian:På svart bunn en sølv hane). This means the arms have a blackfield (background) and thecharge is arooster. The rooster has atincture ofargent which means it is commonly colored white, but if it is made out of metal, then silver is used. The rooster is alsoarmed which means its claws, beak, andcomb are colored red. The rooster is a symbol for watchfulness and alertness. The arms were designed by Arthur Gustavsson.[10][11][12]

The coat of arms was originally adopted by the municipality ofMosjøen on 25 March 1960. In 1962, Mosjøen was merged with Vefsn Municipality,Drevja Municipality, andElsfjord Municipality to form a new, larger Vefsn Municipality. After the merger, the old arms of Mosjøen were chosen for the new municipality. Since the arms officially became obsolete after the merger, they were re-granted in 1974.[11]

Geography

[edit]

Theadministrative centre of Vefsn is the town of Mosjøen which is situated along the innermost part of theVefsnfjorden. Outside Mosjøen, the large municipality of Vefsn is dominated byspruceforests,mountains,lakes,agriculture, and theVefsna river. The municipality is served byMosjøen Airport, Kjærstad.

The highest point in the municipality is the 1,556.55-metre (5,106.8 ft) tall mountain Geittinden.[1] The mountainLukttinden is located in the northern part of the municipality. There are many large lakes in Vefsn includingDrevvatnet,Finnknevatnet,Fustvatnet,Hundålvatnet,Luktvatnet,Mjåvatnet, andØmmervatnet. TheLomsdal–Visten National Park is partially located in Vefsn.

Birdlife

[edit]

The bird watcher that visits Vefsn soon realizes that it will take more than a day to cover all the interestinghabitats and birding areas. Here you will find areas of virtually untouchedconiferouswoodlands, both inland and along the coast. The Skjørlegdanature reserve is a good example of woodland protection. Here you will find a virtually untouched coniferous forest covering the Eiterå valley. The valley stretches inland to a higher mountainous habitat that is also worth checking.

Farms of Vefsn

[edit]

Historically, the land of Vefsn was divided up into named farms. These farms were used in census and tax records and are useful for genealogical research.

Farm maps

[edit]

Note that each map has a maximum number of listings it can display, so the map has been divided into parts consistent with theenumeration districts (Norwegian:tellingskrets) in the 1920 census. This map will include one farm name per farm number; other farm names or subdivision numbers may exist.

The municipalities ofMosjøen, Elsfjord, and Drevja were incorporated into Vefsn in 1962, and are not included in these maps. Tellingskrets 5, Granli; 6 Øvre Svenningdal, and 7 Austervefsen og Feplingdal, are now part of other municipalities, primarily Grane.

Names and numbers

[edit]

Following are the farms in the Vefsn Municipality, as they are listed in O. Rygh's seriesNorske_Gaardnavne (lit.'Norwegian farm names'), the Nordland volume of which was published in 1905.

See also:Digital version of Norske Gaardnavne - Nordland(in Norwegian)

The farm numbers are used in some census records, and numbers that are near each other indicate that those farms are geographically proximate. Handwritten Norwegian sources, particularly those prior to 1800, may use variants on these names. For recorded variants before 1723, see the digital version of O. Rygh. Note that the 1920 census records mapped above may not match O. Rygh.

Farm names were often used as part ofNorwegian names, in addition to the person's given name andpatronymic or inherited surname. Some families retained the farm name, ortoponymic, as a surname when they emigrated, so in those cases tracing a surname may tell you specifically where in Norway the family was from. This tradition began to change in the mid to late 19th century, and inherited surnames were codified into law in 1923.
