General information

[edit]

The district of Fusa was separated from the municipality ofOs in 1856 to become a separate municipality. Initially, Fusa had 3,173 residents. On 1 January 1903, the municipality of Fusa was divided into three separate municipalities:Hålandsdal in the east (population: 647),Strandvik in the south (population: 1,876), and a much smaller Fusa in the west (population: 1,072).[5]

During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of theSchei Committee. On 1 January 1964, there were two changes to Fusa municipality. The Bogstrand area of Fusa, located on the west side of theFusafjorden (population: 28) was transferred to the municipality ofOs. Also on that date, the municipalities ofHålandsdal (population: 528) andStrandvik (population: 2,053) were merged with Fusa (population: 1,466) to form a much larger municipality of Fusa.[5]

On 1 January 2020, the neighboring municipalities ofOs and Fusa were merged to form the newBjørnafjorden Municipality.[6]

Name

[edit]

The municipality (originally theparish) is named after the oldFusa farm (Old Norse:Fúsar) since the firstFusa Church was built there. The meaning of the name is uncertain. The name could be the plural form of the wordfúss which means "eager" or "longing". Another possibility is that it comes from the verbfusa or its alternate spellingfuse which both mean "to rush" (as in rushing water).[7] Historically, the name of the municipality was spelledFuse. On 3 November 1917, aroyal resolution changed the spelling of the name of the municipality toFusa.[8]

Coat of arms

[edit]

Thecoat of arms was granted on 27 September 1991 and it was in use until 1 January 2020 when the municipality was dissolved. The officialblazon is"Argent, threegurgesazurein pall" (Norwegian:På kvit grunn tre blå spiralar stilte i trepass). This means the arms have afield (background) has atincture ofargent which means it is commonly colored white, but if it is made out of metal, then silver is used. Thecharge is a set of threespirals, two over one. The design was chosen to symbolise the strongcurrents in theFusafjorden andBjørnafjorden. The spirals also symbolise the manygiant's kettles (Norwegian:jettegryte) in the municipality, which were created by the water in the rocks. The arms were designed by Arvid Sveen. The municipal flag has the same design as the coat of arms.[9][10]
