Hjelme is a former municipality in the old Hordaland county in Norway. The Script error: No such module "convert". municipality was located within the northern part of the present-day municipality of Øygarden. It existed from 1910 until 1964. The administrative centre was located at Hjelme, where the Old Hjelme Church was located. The municipality included the main islands of Alvøyna, Seløyna, Lyngøyna, and Hernar as well as many smaller surrounding islands. The Fedjeosen strait was the northern boundary, the Hjeltefjorden was the eastern boundary, the small Nordra Straumøysundet strait was the southern boundary, and the North Sea was to the west.[1]
History
On 1 January 1910, the western district of the municipality of Manger (population: 986) was separated to form its own municipality called Hjelmen. On 5 November 1912 the name was changed from Hjelmen to Hjelme by royal resolution. 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 Hjelme (population: 956) was merged with the majority of the neighboring municipality of Herdla to form the new municipality named "Øygarden".[2]
Name
The municipality is named after the old Hjelme farm (Template:Langx). The name was likely the old name for the island of Hjelme. The name is the plural form of Template:Wikt-lang which means "helmet", likely referring to a helmet-shaped mountain on the island near the farm.[3] Historically, the name of the municipality was spelled Hjelmen. On 5 November 1912, a royal resolution changed the spelling of the name of the municipality to Hjelme.[4]
