History

[edit]

Theparish ofAasen was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (seeformannskapsdistrikt law). The spelling was later changed toÅsen. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of theSchei Committee. On 1 January 1962, thetown of Levanger (population: 1,669) was merged with the neighboringFrol Municipality (population: 3,774), Åsen Municipality (population: 1,939), andSkogn Municipality (population: 4,756) to form a new, largerLevanger Municipality.[9]

Name

[edit]

The municipality (originally theparish) is named after the local fjord,Åsenfjorden (Old Norse:Ásfjǫrðr). The name is identical to the Norwegian wordåsen which means "the hill".[10] On 21 December 1917, aroyal resolution enacted the1917 Norwegian language reforms. Prior to this change, the name was spelledAasen with thedigraph "Aa", and after this reform, the name was spelledÅsen, using the letterÅ instead.[11][12]

Churches

[edit]

TheChurch of Norway had one parish (sokn) within Åsen Municipality. At the time of the municipal dissolution, it was part of the Frostaprestegjeld and theSør-Innherad prosti (deanery) in theDiocese of Nidaros.[8]
