General information

The municipality of Roan was established on 1 June 1892 when the old Bjørnør Municipality was divided into three parts: Roan Municipality (population: 2,069) in the centre, Osen Municipality (population: 1,575) in the north, and Stoksund Municipality (population: 1,122) in the south.[3]

On 1 January 2018, the municipality switched from the old Sør-Trøndelag county to the new Trøndelag county. On 1 January 2020, Roan Municipality was merged into the neighboring Åfjord Municipality.[4]

Name

The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Roan farm since the first Roan Church was built there. The name is probably derived from the Old Norse word Script error: No such module "Lang". which means "pole" a reference to a mountain peak behind the farm.[5]

Coat of arms

The coat of arms was granted on 22 May 1987 and it was in use until 1 January 2020 when the municipality was dissolved. The official blazon is "Azure, three terns volant argent" (Template:Langx). This means the arms have a blue field (background) and the charge is a group of three flying terns. The bird design has a tincture of argent which means it is commonly colored white, but if it is made out of metal, then silver is used. Terns, a very watchful and energetic bird, are intended to symbolize the local inhabitants and the coast with the vast bird life in the area. The arms were initially designed by Solfrid Krogfjord with the final design by Einar H. Skjervold. The municipal flag has the same design as the coat of arms. After the municipal merger on 1 January 2020, these arms were adopted as the arms for the new Åfjord Municipality.[6][7][8][9] Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote".

Churches

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

Geography

View of the highest point in Roan municipality

Roan was located on the Fosen peninsula between Åfjord Municipality (to the south) and Osen Municipality (to the north), with Namdalseid Municipality to the east. Roan also included a number of islands in the Atlantic Ocean to the west. Three major fjords cut into the landscape: the Brandsfjorden in the north, Bersfjorden in the central part, and the Skjørafjorden in the south. The Kaura lighthouse was located on a small island in the mouth of the Brandsfjorden. The Hellfjorden is a small fjord arm that branches off the main Brandsfjorden.

The landscape was very hilly, with bare mountaintops reaching Script error: No such module "convert". above sea level. The highest point in the municipality is the Script error: No such module "convert". tall mountain Dåapma, located on the border with Namdalseid Municipality.[10][9]

Government

While it existed, Roan 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.[11] The municipality was under the jurisdiction of the Fosen District Court and the Frostating Court of Appeal.

There are only two roads leaving the municipality: one going south to Å in Åfjord Municipality and one to the north to Osen Municipality.[9]
