Hafslo is a former municipality in the old Sogn og Fjordane county, Norway. The Script error: No such module "convert".[1] municipality existed from 1838 until its dissolution in 1963. It is located in the present-day Luster Municipality (in Vestland county) in the traditional district of Sogn. The former municipality included the villages of Kinsedalen, Ornes, and Kroken on the east side of the Lustrafjorden. It also included the villages of Solvorn, Hafslo, Joranger, and the whole Veitastrond valley on the west side of the Lustrafjorden. The municipality surrounded the lakes Hafslovatnet and Veitastrondvatnet. The administrative centre of the municipality was the village of Hafslo, where Hafslo Church was located.
History
Hafslo was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law). During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1963, the municipality of Hafslo (population: 2,384) was merged with the neighboring municipalities of Luster (population: 2,674) and Jostedal (population: 796) to form the new, larger municipality of Luster.[2]
Name
The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Hafslo farm (Template:Langx) since the first Hafslo Church was built there. The first element is the old male name Template:Wikt-lang, the name is identical with the word Template:Wikt-lang which means "male goat". The last element is Template:Wikt-lang which means "clearing" or "meadow", probably due to the excellent farming areas nearby.[3]
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.[4]
