The municipality of Skodje was established in 1849 when the large Borgund Municipality was divided into two: the eastern part (population: 2,170) became the new Skoue Municipality (the spelling later changed) and the western part (population: 4,461) remained as Borgund Municipality. On 1 January 1902, Skodje Municipality was divided into two: the northern part (population: 1,547) became the new Vatne Municipality and the southern part (population: 1,551) remained as a smaller Skodje Municipality.[3]

During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1965, there was a merger between three neighbors: Stordal Municipality (population: 1,052) in the south, Ørskog Municipality (population: 1,664) in the centre, and Skodje Municipality (population: 2,048) in the north, creating a new, larger Ørskog Municipality. This was merger was short-lived. On 1 January 1977, the merger was reversed all three municipalities were separated once again. This left the newly reconstituted Skodje Municipality with a population of 2,634.[3]

On 1 January 2020, Skodje Municipality was merged with Haram Municipality, Ørskog Municipality, Sandøy Municipality, and Ålesund Municipality to form a new, larger Ålesund Municipality.[4]

Name

The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Skodje farm (Template:Langx) since the first Skodje Church was built there. The first element comes from the word Template:Wikt-lang which has an unknown meaning. The last element is Template:Wikt-lang which means "meadow" or "pasture". Before 1879, the name was written Skoue.[5]

Coat of arms

The coat of arms was granted on 19 June 1987 and they were in use until the municipality was dissolved on 1 January 2020. The official blazon is "Vert, an arched embattled bridge Or" (Template:Langx). This means the arms have a green field (background) and the charge is an arched bridge design. The charge has a tincture of Or which means it is commonly colored yellow, but if it is made out of metal, then gold is used. The design was meant to mimic the local Skodje Bridge, a very old bridge which crosses over the Straumen river, a major architectural feat at its time. The arms were designed by Jarle Skuseth. The municipal flag has the same design as the coat of arms.[6][7][8]
