Sør-Rana is a former municipality in Nordland county, Norway. The 777-square-kilometre (300 sq mi) municipality existed from 1929 until its dissolution in 1964. The areais now part of Hemnes Municipality. (Hemnes Municipality was also named Sør-Rana from 1838 until 1844).[6] Sør-Rana encompassed an area on both sides of the middle section of the Ranfjorden around where the Sørfjorden and Elsfjorden branch off the main fjord.[7]

Prior to its dissolution in 1964, the 777-square-kilometre (300 sq mi) municipality was the 118th largest by area out of the 689 municipalities in Norway. Sør-Rana Municipality was the 519th most populous municipality in Norway with a population of about 1,608. The municipality's population density was 2.1 inhabitants per square kilometre (5.4/sq mi) and its population had decreased by 13.1% over the previous 10-year period.[8][9]

General information

Rana Municipality was established on 1 January 1838 under the old formannskapsdistrikt law. Shortly afterwards, in 1839, the municipality was divided into Nord-Ranen Municipality and Sør-Ranen Municipality.[7] In 1844, Sør-Ranen Municipality was renamed Hemnes Municipality.[6] On 1 July 1918, the southern part of Hemnes Municipality (population: 1,369) was separated to become the new Korgen Municipality. On 1 July 1929 the large Hemnes Municipality was divided into three separate municipalities: Elsfjord Municipality (population: 765) in the southwest, Hemnes Municipality (population: 1,077) which included the small area around the village of Hemnesberget, and Sør-Rana Municipality (population: 1,708) in the north and east.[10]

During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, Sør-Rana Municipality was dissolved and its lands were divided up. The district of Sør-Rana that was north of the Ranfjorden, with 697 inhabitants, was merged with the town of Mo i Rana (population: 9,6168), all of Nord-Rana Municipality (population: 11,636), and the eastern part of Nesna Municipality (population: 543) to create the new Rana Municipality. The rest of Sør-Rana Municipality (south of the Ranfjorden), with 934 inhabitants, was merged with Hemnes Municipality (population: 1,352), all of Korgen Municipality (population: 3,033), and the northern part of Hattfjelldal Municipality (population: 168) to form a new, larger Hemnes Municipality.[10]

Name

The municipality was named Sør-Rana. The first element is sør which directly translates to "southern". The second element is Rana which comes from the local river Ranelva (Old Norse: Raðund). The name of the river is probably derived from the word raðr which means "quick", "fast", or "rapid". Another possibility is that the name comes from the old Sami god Rana Niejta.[11][12]

Geography

The highest point in the municipality was the 1,915.75-metre (6,285.3 ft) tall mountain Oksskolten.[1] Sør-Rana encompassed an area on both sides of the middle section of the Ranfjorden around where the Sørfjorden and Elsfjorden branch off the main fjord.[7] Nord-Rana Municipality was located to the northeast; Nesna Municipality was located to the west; Elsfjord Municipality, Korgen Municipality, and Hattfjelldal Municipality were all located to the south; and the nation of Sweden was to the east. Hemnes Municipality was an enclave located within the borders of Sør-Rana Municipality.

Government

While it existed, Sør-Rana Municipality was responsible for primary education (through 10th grade), outpatient health services, senior citizen services, welfare and other social services, zoning, economic development, and municipal roads and utilities. The municipality was governed by a municipal council of directly elected representatives. The mayor was indirectly elected by a vote of the municipal council.[13] The municipality was under the jurisdiction of the Hålogaland Court of Appeal.

The municipal council (Herredsstyre) of Sør-Rana was made up of 15 representatives that were elected to four year terms. The tables below show the historical composition of the council by political party.
