The parish of Randaberg was established on 1 July 1922 when it was separated from the large municipality of [[Hetland]]. Initially, there were 1,256 residents of the new municipality. The municipal borders have not changed since that time.<ref name="Dag">{{Cite book |last=Jukvam |first=Dag |url=http://www.ssb.no/emner/00/90/rapp_9913/rapp_9913.pdf |title=Historisk oversikt over endringer i kommune- og fylkesinndelingen |publisher=[[Statistics Norway|Statistisk sentralbyrå]] |year=1999 |isbn=9788253746845 |language=no}}</ref>

===Name===
The municipality (originally the [[prestegjeld|parish]]) is named after the old ''[[Randaberg (village)|Randaberg]]'' farm ({{langx|non|Randarberg}}) since the first [[Randaberg Church]] was built there. The first element is the plural [[genitive case]] of {{wikt-lang|non|rǫnd}} which means "edge" or "rim". The last element is {{wikt-lang|non|berg}} which means "mountain", "rock" or "cliff". Before the early 1900s, the area was known as ''Randeberg''.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Rygh |first=Oluf |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=u4pBAAAAIAAJ |title=Norske gaardnavne: Stavanger amt |date=1915 |publisher=W. C. Fabritius & sønners bogtrikkeri |edition=10 |location=Kristiania, Norge |page=206 |language=no |authorlink=Oluf Rygh}}</ref>

===Coat of arms===
The [[coat of arms]] was granted on 26 June 1981. The official [[blazon]] is ''"[[Azure (heraldry)|Azure]], fourteen [[Roundel (heraldry)|plates]] in [[Orle (heraldry)|orle]]"'' ({{langx|no|I blått 14 sølv mynter langs randen}}). This means the arms have a blue [[field (heraldry)|field]] (background) and the [[charge (heraldry)|charge]] is a set of fourteen circles that outline the shield. The charge has a [[tincture (heraldry)|tincture]] of [[argent]] which means it is commonly colored white, but if it is made out of metal, then silver is used. The circles are meant to symbolize silver coins. The arms are partly [[canting arms|canting]] since the name of the municipality is derived from a word that means "edge" and the [[coin]]s are placed around edge of the shield. The coins symbolize the ball-shaped [[Rock (geology)|stones]] found in large amounts on the [[beach]] in Randaberg. The arms were designed by Truls Nygaard who based it off a preliminary design by Magnus Hardeland. The municipal flag is rectangular and has the same design as the coat of arms.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Civic heraldry of Norway - Norske Kommunevåpen |url=https://www.heraldry-wiki.com/heraldrywiki/index.php?title=Randaberg |access-date=2023-07-01 |publisher=Heraldry of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Randaberg, Rogaland (Norway) |url=https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/no-11-27.html |access-date=2023-07-01 |website=Flags of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=1981-08-11 |title=Godkjenning av våpen og flagg |url=https://lovdata.no/dokument/LF/forskrift/1981-06-28-3734 |access-date=2023-07-01 |website=Lovdata.no |publisher=Norges kommunal- og arbeidsdepartementet |language=no}}</ref>

==Economy==
Randaberg is still an active agricultural community, and produces over 80% of Norway's [[parsley]]. About 3/5 of the land is arable, and about 2% of the inhabitants are engaged in agriculture. Dairy production, chickens, and pigs are important industries. Only [[Klepp]] municipality surpasses Randaberg in agricultural production in Rogaland county. The first [[potato]]es every year are grown here in Randaberg and are given to the [[Royal Family of Norway]]. However, due to its close proximity to the large city of [[Stavanger]], the area is becoming more urban. There are three main [[suburb]]s of Stavanger where most of Randaberg's residents live: [[Randaberg (village)|Randaberg sentrum]] (310 houses), Viste/Goa (315 houses), and [[Grødem]] (135 houses).

==History==
Some of the first inhabitants of Norway settled here, and it is believed that the first people came here around 12,000 years ago. It is thought that [[Svarthola]] (local name: Vistehålå) was the main shelter for a group of 25 persons, from around 6000 BC. These people were mainly [[Hunter-gatherer|gatherers and hunters]], but from around 4000 BC they also started farming. From around 2000 BC, their main activity was farming.
