The municipality of Snillfjord was established on 1 July 1924 when it was separated from the large Hemne Municipality. The initial population was 776. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, the eastern part of the old Heim Municipality (population: 724) and the western part of the neighboring Agdenes Municipality (population: 196) were merged with Snillfjord Municipality (population: 681) to form a new, larger Snillfjord Municipality. On 1 January 1995, the Midtun area of Agdenes Municipality (population: 21) was transferred into Snillfjord Municipality. A road to the area had recently been built, but it connected to Snillfjord Municipality and not Agdenes Municipality, so it was decided to switch to the other municipality due to the newly opened road connection.[3]

On 1 January 2018, the municipality switched from the old Sør-Trøndelag county to the new Trøndelag county.

On 1 January 2020, Snillfjord Municipality was dissolved and its lands were split between its three neighboring municipalities: the northwestern portion of joined Hitra Municipality, the southwestern Vennastranda area joined the new Heim Municipality, and the rest joined the new Orkland Municipality.[4]

Name

The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the Snillfjorden since it was a central geographic feature of the municipality. The first element is probably an old name of the Snilldalselva river. The river name is derived from Template:Wikt-lang which comes from the word Template:Wikt-lang which means "fast" (related to German Script error: No such module "Lang".). The last element is Template:Wikt-lang which means "the fjord".[5][6] Historically, the name of the municipality was spelled Snilfjord. On 19 August 1938, a royal resolution changed the spelling of the name of the municipality to Snillfjord.[7]

Coat of arms

The coat of arms was granted on 31 August 1990 and it was in use until 1 January 2020 when the municipality was dissolved. The official blazon is "Vert, a pitchfork argent" (Template:Langx). This means the arms have a green field (background) and the charge is a pitchfork. The pitchfork has a tincture of argent which means it is commonly colored white, but if it is made out of metal, then silver is used. This design was chosen to symbolize the importance of agriculture in the municipality. The arms were designed by Einar H. Skjervold. The municipal flag has the same design as the coat of arms.[8][9][10][11]
