'''Skodje''' ({{IPA|no|skɔʏə|pron}} or {{IPA|no|skøʏə|}}) is a [[List of former municipalities of Norway|former municipality]] in [[Møre og Romsdal]] county, [[Norway]]. The {{convert|120|km2|adj=on}} municipality existed from 1849 until its dissolution in 2020 (except for a short time from 1965-1977). The area is now part of [[Ålesund Municipality]] in the [[Traditional districts of Norway|traditional district]] of [[Sunnmøre]]. The [[administrative centre]] was the village of [[Skodje (village)|Skodje]]. The other main village in the municipality was [[Valle, Møre og Romsdal|Valle]]. The [[European route E39|European Route E39]]/[[European route E136|E136]] highway runs through the municipality, connecting it to the nearby cities of [[Ålesund]] and [[Molde]].

Prior to its dissolution in 2020, the {{convert|120|km2|adj=on}} municipality was the 365th largest by area out of the 422 municipalities in Norway. Skodje Municipality was the 209th most populous municipality in Norway with a population of about 4,764.

The municipality of Skodje was established in 1849 when the large [[Borgund Municipality (Møre og Romsdal)|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 (Møre og Romsdal)|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.<ref name="Dag">{{Cite book |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, 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.<ref name="Dag" />

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]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Nye Ålesund |url=http://nyealesund.no/ |access-date=2017-10-19 |language=no}}</ref>

===Name===
The municipality (originally the [[prestegjeld|parish]]) is named after the old ''[[Skodje (village)|Skodje]]'' farm ({{langx|non|Skǫðin}}) since the first [[Skodje Church]] was built there. The first element comes from the word {{wikt-lang|non|skað}} which has an unknown meaning. The last element is {{wikt-lang|non|vin}} which means "[[meadow]]" or "[[pasture]]". Before 1879, the name was written ''Skoue''.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Rygh |first=Oluf |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=691LAQAAIAAJ |title=Norske gaardnavne: Romsdals amt |date=1908 |publisher=W.

===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 (heraldry)|Vert]], an arched [[Embattled (heraldry)|embattled]] bridge [[Or (heraldry)|Or]]"'' ({{langx|no|På grøn grunn ei gull kvelvingsbru med tindar}}). This means the arms have a green [[field (heraldry)|field]] (background) and the [[charge (heraldry)|charge]] is an arched bridge design. The charge has a [[tincture (heraldry)|tincture]] of [[Or (heraldry)|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, Skodje|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.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Civic heraldry of Norway - Norske Kommunevåpen |url=https://www.heraldry-wiki.com/heraldrywiki/index.php?title=Skodje |access-date=2023-04-05 |publisher=Heraldry of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Skodje, Møre og Romsdal (Norway) |url=https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/no-15-29.html |access-date=2023-04-05 |website=Flags of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=1987-06-19 |title=Godkjenning av våpen og flagg |url=https://lovdata.no/dokument/LF/forskrift/1987-06-19-529 |access-date=2023-04-05 |website=Lovdata.no |publisher=Norges kommunal- og arbeidsdepartementet |language=no}}</ref>
