Ankenes is a former municipality in Nordland county, Norway. The 2,028-square-kilometre (783 sq mi) municipality existed from 1884 until 1974. It encompassed most of the present-day Narvik Municipality, surrounding of the town of Narvik which was once its own municipality. The administrative centre of Ankenes was the village of Ankenesstrand, situated along the west side of the Beisfjorden, where the Ankenes Church is located.[6][7]

Prior to its dissolution on 1 January 1974, the 2,028-square-kilometre (783 sq mi) municipality was the 31st largest by area out of the 444 municipalities in Norway. Ankenes Municipality was the 139th most populous municipality in Norway with a population of about 7,025. The municipality's population density was 3.5 inhabitants per square kilometre (9.1/sq mi) and its population had increased by 15.7% over the previous 10-year period.[8][9]

Today, the name Ankenes is often used to refer to the suburban Ankenesstrand area, just west of the centre of the town of Narvik. The European route E6 highway is the main thoroughfare through Ankenesstrand and it follows the shoreline of the Ofotfjorden and Beisfjorden and it then crosses the fjord over the 375-metre (1,230 ft) long Beisfjord Bridge where it then reaches the central part of the town of Narvik.

General information

The old Ofoten Municipality was established on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law). Ofoten Municipality included all of the land surrounding the inner part of the Ofotfjorden, including the Ankenes area. On 1 January 1884, Ofoten Municipality was dissolved and split into two municipalities: Ankenes Municipality (population: 1,734) and Evindnæs Municipality (population: 2,397). In 1901, the Narvik (population: 3,705) received town status as a kjøpstad. Soon after, on 1 January 1902, the new town of Narvik was separated from Ankenes Municipality to form a separate municipality of its own. The split left Ankenes Municipality with a population of 3,023. On 1 January 1974, Ankenes Municipality was merged with the town of Narvik to form a new, larger Narvik Municipality. Prior to the merger, Ankenes had 7,022 inhabitants and Narvik had 12,758.[10]

Name

The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Ankenes farm since the first Ankenes Church was built there. The first element is derived from the diminutive form of the old male name Anki which is short for Arnkell. The last element is nes which means "headland".[11]

Churches

The Church of Norway had one parish (sokn) within Ankenes Municipality. At the time of the municipal dissolution, it was part of the Ofoten prestegjeld and the Nordre Salten (deanery) in the Diocese of Sør-Hålogaland.[9]

Geography

The highest point in the municipality was the 1,893.7-metre (6,213 ft) tall mountain Storsteinsfjellet.[1] The municipality was bordered by Sweden to the east and south; Ballangen Municipality and Evenes Municipality to the west; and Skånland Municipality, Gratangen Municipality, and Salangen Municipality to the north.

Government

While it existed, Ankenes Municipality was responsible for primary education (through 10th grade), outpatient health services, senior citizen services, unemployment, social services, zoning, economic development, and municipal roads. During its existence, this municipality was governed by a municipal council of elected representatives, which in turn elected a mayor.[12]
