'''Sandøy''' is a [[List of former municipalities of Norway|former municipality]] in [[Møre og Romsdal]] county, [[Norway]]. The {{convert|21|km2|adj=on}} municipality existed from 1867 until its dissolution in 2020. The area is now divided between [[Aukra Municipality]] and [[Ålesund Municipality]] on the border of the [[Traditional districts of Norway|traditional district]]s of [[Romsdal]] and [[Sunnmøre]]. The [[administrative centre]] was the village of [[Steinshamn]]. Other villages included [[Ona, Sandøy|Ona]] and [[Myklebost, Sandøy|Myklebust]]. 

Prior to its dissolution in 2020, the {{convert|21.43|km2|adj=on}} municipality was the 416th largest by area out of the 422 municipalities in Norway. Sandøy Municipality was the 373rd most populous municipality in Norway with a population of about 1,238. The municipality's [[population density]] was {{convert|57.8|PD/km2}} and its population had decreased by 5.3% over the previous 10-year period.<ref name="ssb pop">{{Cite web |last=Statistisk sentralbyrå |author-link=Statistics Norway |title=Table: 06913: Population 1 January and population changes during the calendar year (M) |url=https://www.ssb.no/en/statbank/table/06913/ |language=Norwegian}}</ref><ref name="ssb area">{{Cite web |last=Statistisk sentralbyrå |author-link=Statistics Norway |title=09280: Area of land and fresh water (km²) (M) |url=https://www.ssb.no/en/statbank/table/09280/ |language=Norwegian}}</ref>

The municipality was spread out over many islands in the mouth of the vast [[Romsdal Fjord]]. The [[Flatflesa Lighthouse]] and [[Ona Lighthouse]] protect the boats traveling around the municipality. The [[Nordøy Fixed Link]] project was constructed from 2018 until 2023 and it included three undersea tunnels and several bridges that connected the main islands of Sandøy Municipality and the islands of [[Haram Municipality]] to the mainland.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Fv 659 Nordøyvegen |url=https://www.vegvesen.no/Fylkesveg/fv659nordoyvegen |access-date=2017-10-19 |publisher=[[Statens vegvesen]] |language=Norwegian}}</ref>

The new ''Sandø Municipality'' was established on 1 January 1867 when the [[Aukra Municipality|Akerø Municipality]] was divided into two: the western islands (population: 601) became the new ''Sandø Municipality'' and the eastern islands (population: 2,026). The spelling of the name was later changed to Sandøy Municipality.<ref name="Dag">{{Cite web |last=Jukvam |first=Dag |year=1999 |title=Historisk oversikt over endringer i kommune- og fylkesinndelingen |url=http://www.ssb.no/emner/00/90/rapp_9913/rapp_9913.pdf |publisher=[[Statistics Norway|Statistisk sentralbyrå]] |language=no |isbn=9788253746845}}</ref>

During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the [[Schei Committee]]. On 1 January 1965, the [[Myklebost, Sandøy|Myklebust]] area on [[Harøya]] island and some smaller surrounding islands to the west (population: 287) were transferred from [[Haram Municipality]] to Sandøy Municipality.<ref name="Dag" />

On 1 January 2020, Sandøy Municipality was dissolved. The islands of [[Orta, Møre og Romsdal|Orta]] and Lyngværet (and the small surrounding islands) were merged into [[Aukra Municipality]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Meir om grensejusteringa i Sandøy |url=http://nyealesund.no/aktuelt/nyheitsarkiv/220-meir-om-grensejusteringa-i-sandoy |access-date=2019-07-27 |publisher=Nye Ålesund kommune |language=Norwegian}}</ref> The remainder of the old Sandøy Municipality was merged with [[Haram Municipality]], [[Ørskog Municipality]], [[Skodje Municipality]], and [[Ålesund Municipality]] to form one large municipality of Ålesund.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Nye Ålesund |url=http://nyealesund.no/ |access-date=2017-10-19 |language=Norwegian}}</ref>

===Name===
The municipality (originally the [[prestegjeld|parish]]) is named after the farm and small island of ''[[Sandøya, Møre og Romsdal|Sandøya]]'' ({{langx|non|Sandøy}}) since the first [[Sandøy Church]] was built there. The first element comes from the word {{wikt-lang|non|sandr}} which means "[[sand]]". The last element is {{wikt-lang|no|øy}} which means "[[island]]".<ref>{{Cite book |last=Rygh |first=Oluf |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=691LAQAAIAAJ |title=Norske gaardnavne: Romsdals amt |date=1908 |publisher=W. C. Fabritius & sønners bogtrikkeri |edition=13 |location=Kristiania, Norge |page=311 |language=no |authorlink=Oluf Rygh}}</ref> Historically, the name of the municipality was spelled ''Sandøen'' or ''Sandø''. The municipality was also known as ''Sandø i Romsdal'' to distinguish it from the nearby [[Sande Municipality (Møre og Romsdal)|Sandø Municipality]] in [[Sunnmøre]] which was known as ''Sandø i Sunnmøre''. On 3 November 1917, a [[royal decree|royal resolution]] changed the spelling of the name of the municipality to ''Sandøy''.<ref>{{Cite journal |year=1917 |title=Norsk Lovtidende. 2den Afdeling. 1917.

===Coat of arms===
The [[coat of arms]] was granted on 12 December 1986 and they were in use until the municipality was dissolved on 1 January 2020. The official [[blazon]] is ''"[[Azure (heraldry)|Azure]], three [[Pile (heraldry)|piles]] conjoined in [[Dexter and sinister|dexter]] [[argent]]"'' ({{langx|no|I blått tre sølv spissar som møtest i høgre skjoldrand}}). This means the arms have a blue [[field (heraldry)|field]] (background) and the [[charge (heraldry)|charge]] is a three triangles conjoined at a point along the left side. 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 design is meant to mimic the [[light beam]]s from the [[Ona Lighthouse]]. This was chosen since [[lighthouse]]s play an important role in the safety in the municipality, which consists of 871 islands and [[Skerry|skerries]]. The arms were designed by Astor Furseth. The municipal flag 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=Sandøy |access-date=2023-04-05 |publisher=Heraldry of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Sandøy, Møre og Romsdal (Norway) |url=https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/no-15-46.html |access-date=2023-04-05 |website=Flags of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=1986-12-12 |title=Godkjenning av våpen og flagg |url=https://lovdata.no/dokument/LFO/forskrift/1986-12-12-2286 |access-date=2023-04-05 |website=Lovdata.no |publisher=Norges kommunal- og arbeidsdepartementet |language=no}}</ref> {{see also-text|the [[Coat of arms of Utsira]]}}

==Geography==
Sandøy was an island municipality. Sandøy consisted of 871 islands, but only five were regularly inhabited by the time the municipality was dissolved. The main inhabited islands were [[Harøya]], [[Sandøya, Møre og Romsdal|Sandøya]], [[Finnøya, Møre og Romsdal|Finnøya]], [[Ona, Sandøy|Ona]], and [[Orta, Møre og Romsdal|Orta]]. Ona is the most famous of the islands and is a popular tourist destination due to its history and the [[Ona Lighthouse]]. The highest point in the municipality was the {{convert|156.2|m|adj=on}} tall mountain Harøyburet on the island of [[Harøya]].<ref name="elev" />
