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

General information

The municipality of Leka was established on 1 October 1860 when it was separated from the large Kolvereid 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 new Gravvik Municipality. This left Leka Municipality with 1,209 residents. The borders of Leka have not changed since then.[3] On 1 January 2018, the municipality switched from the old Nord-Trøndelag county to the new Trøndelag county.

On 8 June 2017, the Norwegian Parliament, the Storting, voted to merge Leka Municipality with Vikna Municipality, Nærøy Municipality, and Bindal Municipality to form one, large municipality effective 1 January 2020.[4] Both Leka and Bindal municipalities rejected the merger, but Vikna and Nærøy merged on that date to form the new Nærøysund Municipality.[5]

Toponymy

The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the island of Leka (Template:Langx) 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 word Script error: No such module "Lang". which can mean "gravelly ground".[6][7]

Coat of arms

The coat of arms was granted on 21 April 1989. The official blazon is "Gules, a winged claw Or" (Template:Langx). This means the arms have a red field (background) and the charge is a wing and claw of an eagle. The wing and claw design has a tincture of Or 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 the island, and was subsequently discovered beneath the nest of a White-tailed eagle, high up on a cliff where no three-year-old could possibly have climbed. The arms were designed by Einar H. Skjervold.[8][9][10][6][11]

Churches

The Church of Norway has one parish (Script error: No such module "Lang".) within Leka Municipality. It is part of the Namdal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nidaros.
