The island of Leka has been inhabited for at least 10,000 years, as evidenced bycave drawings in theSolsem cave at the southwest tip of the Leka island.

General information

[edit]

The municipality of Leka was established on 1 October 1860 when it was separated from the largeKolvereid Municipality. Initially, the population of Leka Municipality was 1,702. On 1 January 1909, the southern mainland district of Leka (population: 881) was separated to form the newGravvik Municipality. This left Leka Municipality with 1,209 residents. The borders of Leka have not changed since then.[7] On 1 January 2018, the municipality switched from the oldNord-Trøndelag county to the newTrøndelag county.

On 8 June 2017, the Norwegian Parliament, theStorting, voted to merge Leka Municipality withVikna Municipality,Nærøy Municipality, andBindal Municipality to form one, large municipality effective 1 January 2020.[8] Both Leka and Bindal municipalities rejected the merger, but Vikna and Nærøy merged on that date to form the newNærøysund Municipality.[9]

Toponymy

[edit]

The municipality (originally theparish) is named after theisland of Leka (Old Norse:Leka) since the island makes up a large portion of the parish and municipality. The meaning of the name is unknown, but it may come from the wordlekke which can mean "gravelly ground".[10][11]

Coat of arms

[edit]

Thecoat of arms was granted on 21 April 1989. The officialblazon is"Gules, a winged clawOr" (Norwegian:I rødt en vinget gull klo). This means the arms have a redfield (background) and thecharge is awing andclaw of aneagle. The wing and claw design has atincture ofOr which means it is commonly colored yellow, but if it is made out of metal, then gold is used. This is a reference to an incident which supposedly occurred in 1932, in which a three-year-old girl disappeared on theisland, and was subsequently discovered beneath the nest of aWhite-tailed eagle, high up on a cliff where no three-year-old could possibly have climbed. The arms were designed by Einar H. Skjervold.[12][13][14][10][15]

Churches

[edit]

TheChurch of Norway has one parish (sokn) within Leka Municipality. It is part of theNamdal prosti (deanery) in theDiocese of Nidaros.
