Hamre (historically, Hammer) is a former municipality in the old Hordaland county, Norway. The municipality existed from 1838 until 1964 when it was dissolved and its lands split up among several other municipalities. It was located in what is now Alver Municipality and Osterøy Municipality in Vestland county. It was once a large municipality, but over time it was reduced in size until it covered an area of 84 square kilometres (32 sq mi) by the time it was dissolved in 1964. At that time, it encompassed land on both sides of the Osterfjorden on the Lindås peninsula on the north side and on the island of Osterøy on the south side. The administrative centre was the village of Hamre where Hamre Church was located.^[3]

History

The parish of Hammer (later spelled Hamre) was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law). On 1 January 1885, the northwestern district of Hamre on the island of Holsnøy and the area around the village of Alversund on the mainland (population: 2,793) was separated to become the new municipality of Alversund. On 1 January 1904, the western district of Hamre (population: 1,625) was separated to become the new municipality of Åsane. The split left Hamre with a population of 2,914. On 1 July 1914 a part of western Hamre with 622 inhabitants was transferred to Åsane. The spelling of the name was changed from "Hammer" to "Hamre" by a royal resolution in 1915.^[4]

During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964 the municipality of Hamre was dissolved and its lands were split up as follows:^[4]

the island of Flatøy (population: 166) was transferred to Meland Municipality.
the area on the northern coast of the Osterfjorden (population: 1,240) was transferred to Lindås Municipality.
the area on the island of Osterøy (population: 1,166) was merged into the new Osterøy Municipality.

Name

The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Hammer farm (Old Norse: Hamarr) since the first Hamre Church was built there. The name is hamarr which means "crag", "rock face", or "steep cliff", likely referring to the local rocky and mountainous terrain.^[5] Historically, the name of the municipality was spelled Hammer. On 25 September 1914, a royal resolution changed the spelling of the name of the municipality to Hamre.^[6]

Government

During its existence, this municipality was governed by a municipal council of directly elected representatives. The mayor was indirectly elected by a vote of the municipal council.^[7]
