The 900-year-old Old Gildeskål Church

The municipality of Gildeskaal (later spelled Gildeskål) was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law). In 1853, the eastern (inland) district of Gildeskaal Municipality (population: about 1,150) was separated to become the new Beiarn Municipality. This left Gildeskaal Municipality with about 2,400 residents. The municipal boundaries have not changed since.[3]

Name

The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Gildeskaal farm (Template:Langx) since the first Gildeskål Church was built there. The first element is the plural genitive case of Template:Wikt-lang which means "feast" or "banquet". The last element is Template:Wikt-lang which means "hall".[4] On 21 December 1917, a royal resolution enacted the 1917 Norwegian language reforms. Prior to this change, the name was spelled Gildeskaal with the digraph "aa", and after this reform, the name was spelled Gildeskål, using the letter å instead.[5][6]

Coat of arms

The coat of arms was granted on 12 February 1988. The official blazon is "Azure, a chalice argent" (Template:Langx). This means the arms have a blue field (background) and the charge is a chalice. The chalice 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 arms are canting since the meaning of the municipal name Gildeskål refers to a banquet hall (or guildhall) which, of course, is a place where one might drink from a chalice. The arms were designed by Arvid Sveen.[7][8][9] Script error: No such module "Hatnote".
