'''Sogn og Fjordane''' ({{IPA|no-NO-03|ˈsɔŋn ɔ ˈfjûːrɑnə|lang|Sogn-og-Fjordane.ogg}}; literally "Parish and the Fjords") was a [[Counties of Norway|county]] in western [[Norway]], from 1 January 1919 to 31 December 2019, after it was merged to become part of [[Vestland]] county. Bordering previous counties [[Møre og Romsdal]], [[Oppland]], [[Buskerud]], and [[Hordaland]], the county administration was in the village of [[Hermansverk]] in [[Leikanger|Leikanger municipality]].  The largest town in the county was [[Førde (town)|Førde]].

Although Sogn og Fjordane has some industry, predominantly [[hydroelectricity]] and [[aluminium]], it is predominantly an [[Agriculture|agricultural]] area. Sogn og Fjordane is also home to the [[Urnes Stave Church]] and the [[Nærøyfjord]], which are both listed by [[UNESCO]] as [[World Heritage Site]]s.

The [[Western Norway University of Applied Sciences]] has campuses in [[Sogndalsfjøra]] and [[Førde (town)|Førde]].

==Name==
The name ''Sogn og Fjordane'' was created in 1919; a literal translation is: ''Sogn and the fjords.'' The first element is the name of the region of [[Sogn]], located in the southern part of the county. The last element is the plural definite form of ''fjord'', which refers to the two regions in the county called [[Nordfjord]] and [[Sunnfjord]] in the northern and central parts of the county.

Prior to 1919, the name of the county was ''[[Bergenhus len|Nordre Bergenhus amt]]'' which meant ''"(the) northern (part of) Bergenhus [[amt (subnational entity)|amt]]"''. (The old [[Bergenhus amt]], created in 1662, was divided into northern and southern halves in 1763.)
{{See also|Hordaland}}

==Coat of arms==
The [[coat of arms of Sogn og Fjordane]] was granted on 23 September 1983. The arms show the geographical layout of the county: three large blue [[fjord]]s protruding into the white colored land. The three fjords represent the three regions of the county: [[Nordfjord]] (surrounding [[Nordfjorden (Sogn og Fjordane)|Nordfjorden]]), [[Sunnfjord]] (with [[Førdefjorden]]), and [[Sogn]] (surrounding [[Sognefjorden]]). Nearly all villages and towns are situated along one of these fjords and the name of the county is based on the fjords.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ngw.nl/heraldrywiki/index.php?title=Sogn_og_Fjordane|publisher=Norske Kommunevåpen|title=Sogn og Fjordane|access-date=23 August 2008}}</ref>

==Written standard==
Sogn og Fjordane is the only county in Norway in which all [[List of municipalities of Norway|municipalities]] have declared [[Nynorsk]] to be their official [[orthography|written form]] of the [[Norwegian language]].

The county consisted of the two historic counties: ''Firdafylke'' (now the Fjordane region; Nordfjord-Sunnfjord) and ''Sygnafylke'' (now the [[Sogn]] region).  These both were formed in the [[Middle Ages]] under the [[Gulating]] government. They were merged with ''Hordafylke'' (now [[Hordaland]]) and ''Sunnmørafylke'' (now [[Sunnmøre]]) to form the ''[[Bergenhus len]]'' in the late Middle Ages. The Bergenhus len was one of four ''len'' in Norway.  It was administered from the [[Bergenhus Fortress]] in the city of [[Bergen]].<ref name=no>[[:no:Sogn og Fjordane]]</ref>

On 19 February 1662, a royal decree changed the name to ''Bergenhus amt''.  The [[Sunnmøre]] region was moved to [[Møre og Romsdal|Romsdalen amt]] in 1689.  Later, in 1763, the ''amt'' was divided in half creating: ''Nordre Bergenhus'' and ''Søndre Bergenhus'' (Northern and Southern Bergenhus).  Later, on 1 January 1919, ''Nordre Bergenhus amt'' was renamed ''Sogn og Fjordane fylke'' during a period of time when many location names in Norway were changed.<ref name=em>{{cite web|url=http://www.sf-f.kommune.no/sff/emigration3.nsf/enduser?readform|title=Sogn og Fjordane|first=Oddvar|last=Natvik|date=29 August 2005|access-date=23 August 2008|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110724180634/http://www.sf-f.kommune.no/sff/emigration3.nsf/enduser?readform|archive-date=24 July 2011}}</ref>  In 2017, the Norwegian government announced the merger of this county as well as [[Hordaland]] into a new county called [[Vestland]].<ref>moderniseringsdepartementet, Kommunal- og (7 July 2017).

==Government==
A county ''(fylke)'' is the chief local administrative area in [[Norway]]. The country is divided into 19 counties. A county is also an election area, with popular votes taking place every 4 years.  The [[Sogn og Fjordane County Municipality]] was the government that oversaw the county.  It was a group of 39 members who were elected to form a [[county council (Norway)|county council]] ''(Fylkesting)''. Heading the ''Fylkesting'' was the county mayor ''(fylkesordførar)''. The last county mayor for the [[Sogn og Fjordane County Municipality]] was [[Åshild Kjelsnes]], the county mayor.  She replaced [[Nils R. Sandal]], who was county mayor from 2003 until 2011.<ref name=em />

The county also had a [[County governor (Norway)|County Governor]] ''(fylkesmann)'' who was the representative of the [[Monarchy of Norway|King]] and [[Politics of Norway|Government of Norway]]. [[Anne Karin Hamre]] was the last County Governor of Sogn og Fjordane. She replaced [[Oddvar Flæte]], who was county governor from 1994 until 2011.

The municipalities of Sogn og Fjordane were divided among three [[district court (Norway)|district courts]] (''tingrett''): [[Sogn District Court|Sogn]], [[Fjordane District Court|Fjordane]], and [[Nordhordland District Court|Nordhordland]]. Sogn og Fjordane was also part of the [[Gulating Court of Appeal]] district based in [[Bergen]].<ref name=no />
* Sogn District Court: [[Aurland Municipality|Aurland]], [[Balestrand Municipality|Balestrand]], [[Leikanger Municipality|Leikanger]], [[Luster Municipality|Luster]], [[Lærdal Municipality|Lærdal]], [[Sogndal Municipality|Sogndal]], [[Vik Municipality|Vik]], and [[Årdal Municipality|Årdal]]
* Fjordane District Court: [[Askvoll Municipality|Askvoll]], [[Bremanger Municipality|Bremanger]], [[Eid Municipality (Sogn og Fjordane)|Eid]], [[Fjaler Municipality|Fjaler]], [[Flora Municipality|Flora]], [[Førde Municipality|Førde]], [[Gaular Municipality|Gaular]], [[Gloppen Municipality|Gloppen]], [[Hornindal Municipality|Hornindal]], [[Hyllestad Municipality|Hyllestad]], [[Høyanger Municipality|Høyanger]], [[Jølster Municipality|Jølster]], [[Naustdal Municipality|Naustdal]], [[Selje Municipality|Selje]], [[Solund Municipality|Solund]], [[Stryn Municipality|Stryn]], and [[Vågsøy Municipality|Vågsøy]]
* Nordhordland District Court: [[Gulen Municipality|Gulen]] (and the rest of the [[Nordhordland]] district of the county of [[Hordaland]])

All of the municipalities of Sogn og Fjordane except Gulen and Solund were part of the Sogn og Fjordane [[Law enforcement by country#Norway|police district]]. Gulen and Solund were part of the Hordaland police district.<ref name=no />

== Geography ==
It is mainly a rural area with a scattered population. Sogn og Fjordane includes the largest [[glacier]] in mainland Norway, [[Jostedalsbreen]], in the [[Breheimen]] mountain range, and the deepest lake, [[Hornindalsvatnet]]. There are also many famous [[waterfall]]s located in the area. [[Ramnefjellsfossen]] (previously called Utigardfossen) is the tallest in Norway and third tallest in the world and [[Vettisfossen]] is one of Norway's highest waterfalls with a vertical drop of {{convert|275|m}}.  Both are located in the [[Jotunheim]] mountains. Cruise ships visit Sogn og Fjordane all summer because of the unique vistas of high mountains and deep blue fjords.
{{Further|topic=the mountain|Haukefjellet}}

The famous [[Nærøyfjord]] is located in the south of the county. This is a UNESCO listed fjord area. There are several archipelagos, including [[Bulandet]], [[Bremangerlandet]] and islands around Florø. The westernmost point in Norway proper is [[Holmebåen]] in Solund municipality. The island of [[Unst]], part of [[Shetland Islands]] is around {{convert|300|km}} west of Holmebåen.

The terrain changes quite rapidly with mostly smaller mountains on the coastline, gradually increasing to mountains reaching more than {{convert|2000|m}}. Because of the steep rise in elevation and [[fjord]]s cutting through the terrain, the amount of [[precipitation (meteorology)|precipitation]] is very high. Low pressure systems come in from the west and meet the mountains (a phenomenon known as [[orographic lift]]ing) and cause rain and snowfall.

==Transport==
Transport is made more difficult because of the fjords and the mountains. The fjords have to be crossed by ferries or rounded, often a large detour. There are four airports in the county, at [[Florø Airport|Florø]], [[Førde Airport, Bringeland|Førde]], [[Sandane Airport, Anda|Sandane]] and [[Sogndal Airport, Haukåsen|Sogndal]]. There is only one railway station, [[Flåm]]. The county contracts bus and boat companies for bus and boat routes in the county, under the new (2015) brand name Kringom.

==Districts==
The county is conventionally divided into three [[Districts of Norway|traditional districts]]. These are [[Sogn]] (in the south), [[Sunnfjord]] (in the centre), and [[Nordfjord]] (in the north).  Sogn surrounds [[Sognefjorden]] from [[Solund Municipality]] on the offshore island of [[Sula, Sogn og Fjordane|Sula]] in the [[North Sea]] to the village of [[Skjolden]] in [[Luster Municipality]] along [[Lustrafjorden]], a branch of the Sognefjord.  The total length is {{convert|204|km}}.  The middle district of Sunnfjord actually has two main fjords: [[Førdefjorden]] and [[Dalsfjorden (Sunnfjord)|Dalsfjorden]].  The northern district surrounds [[Nordfjorden (Sogn og Fjordane)|Nordfjorden]].

==Municipalities==
{{main|list of municipalities of Norway}}
[[File:Municipalities in Sogn og Fjordane.png|thumb|400px|Map of the former municipalities in Sogn og Fjordane county (2014)]]
In 1837, the counties were divided into local administrative units, each with their own governments. The number and borders of these [[Municipalities of Norway|municipalities]] have changed over time, and before the dissolution of the county, there were 26 municipalities in Sogn og Fjordane.  Originally the municipalities were the same as the old [[Church of Norway]] [[prestegjeld|parishes]].
