General information

View of the Færder coastline
Beach area on the island of Tjøme

The municipality of Færder was established on 1 January 2018 when the old Nøtterøy Municipality and Tjøme Municipality were merged.[4][7]

Name

The municipality is named after the small Færder island (Old Norse: Fjarðarøy) since the Store Færder Lighthouse was built there. The current spelling of the first element of the name is a corruption of the genitive case of the old word fjǫrðr which means "fjord". The last element is øy which means "island".[8]

Coat of arms

The coat of arms was adopted for use starting on 1 January 2018 when the municipality was established. The official blazon is "Azure, a sail argent" (Norwegian: Sølv fokk på blå grunn). This means the arms have a blue field (background) and the charge is a jibsail. The sail has a tincture of argent which means it is commonly colored white, but if it is made out of metal, then silver is used. The blue color in the field and the sail were chosen to represent the maritie traditions for this island municipality. The arms were designed by the 17-year-old Jon Markus Ringøen, a student from the municipality. The municipal flag has the same design as the coat of arms.[9][10]

Churches

The Church of Norway has five parishes (sokn) within the municipality of Færder. It is part of the Tønsberg domprosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Tunsberg.
