'''Snillfjord''' is a [[List of former municipalities of Norway|former municipality]] in [[Trøndelag]] [[Counties of Norway|county]], [[Norway]]. The municipality existed from 1924 until its dissolution in 2020 when it was split between [[Hitra Municipality]], [[Heim Municipality]], and [[Orkland Municipality]]. It was part of the [[Fosen]] [[Districts of Norway|region]]. The [[administrative centre]] of the municipality was the village of [[Krokstadøra]]. Other villages in Snillfjord Municipality included [[Ytre Snillfjord]], [[Hemnskjela]], [[Selnes, Trøndelag|Selnes]], and [[Vutudal]].

Prior to its dissolution in 2020, the {{convert|508|km2|adj=on}} municipality was the 209th largest by area out of the 422 municipalities in Norway.  Snillfjord Municipality was the 393rd most populous municipality in Norway with a population of 999. The municipality's [[population density]] was {{convert|2|PD/km2}} and its population had increased by 1.1% 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>

==General information==
[[File:Hemnskjelbrua.jpg|thumb|left|View of the Hemnskjelbrua (bridge) in Snillfjord]]
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 (1911-1964)|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.<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>

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]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Kommunereformen |url=https://www.snillfjord.kommune.no/kommunereformen.413976.no.html |access-date=2017-10-05 |publisher=Snillfjord kommune |language=Norwegian}}</ref>

===Name===
The municipality (originally the [[prestegjeld|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 {{wikt-lang|nn|snild}} which comes from the word {{wikt-lang|non|snjallr}} which means "fast" (related to German {{lang|de|schnell}}). The last element is {{wikt-lang|no|fjorden}} which means "the [[fjord]]".<ref>{{Cite book |last=Rygh |first=Oluf |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=AGxBAAAAIAAJ |title=Norske gaardnavne: Søndre Trondhjems amt |publisher=W.

On 19 August 1938, a [[royal decree|royal resolution]] changed the spelling of the name of the municipality to ''Snillfjord''.<ref>{{Cite journal |year=1938 |title=Norsk Lovtidende. 2den Afdeling. 1938.

===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 (heraldry)|Vert]], a pitchfork [[argent]]"'' ({{langx|no|I grønt et sølv greip}}). This means the arms have a green [[field (heraldry)|field]] (background) and the [[charge (heraldry)|charge]] is a [[pitchfork]]. The pitchfork 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. 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.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Civic heraldry of Norway - Norske Kommunevåpen |url=https://www.heraldry-wiki.com/heraldrywiki/index.php?title=Snillfjord |access-date=2023-02-20 |publisher=Heraldry of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Snillfjord, South Trøndelag (Norway) |url=https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/no-16-13.html |access-date=2023-02-20 |website=Flags of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=1990-11-14 |title=Godkjenning av våpen og flagg |url=https://lovdata.no/dokument/LFO/forskrift/1990-08-31-744 |access-date=2023-02-20 |website=Lovdata.no |publisher=Norges kommunal- og arbeidsdepartementet |language=no}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Snillfjord kommune, våpen |url=https://foto.digitalarkivet.no/fotoweb/archives/5003-Kommunev%C3%A5pen/Kart%20og%20tegninger%20og%20segl/he10081205030923.tif.info#c=%2Ffotoweb%2Farchives%2F5003-Kommunev%25C3%25A5pen%2F%3Fq%3Dsnillfjord |access-date=2023-02-20 |website=Digitalarkivet |publisher=Arkivverket |language=no}}</ref>
