'''Stordal''' is a [[List of former municipalities of Norway|former municipality]] in [[Møre og Romsdal]] county, [[Norway]]. The {{convert|247|km2|adj=on}} municipality existed from 1892 until its dissolution in 2020 (except for a brief time from 1965-1977). The area is now part of [[Fjord Municipality]] in the [[Traditional districts of Norway|traditional district]] of [[Sunnmøre]]. The [[administrative centre]] was the village of [[Stordal (village)|village of Stordal]]. Other villages in the municipality included…

Stordal had relatively good agricultural land, and the main source of income is livestock. Stordal was home to furniture production businesses. The historic farm and museum of [[Ytste Skotet]] lies along the [[Storfjorden (Sunnmøre)|Storfjorden]] in the western part of the old municipality. Most of the municipality was located on the eastern side of the fjord.<ref name="snl">{{Cite SNL|Stordal_-_tidligere_kommune|Stordal (tidligere kommune)|2025-04-16|Stokkan|John|2021-07-06|editor2-first=Geir|editor2-last=Thorsnæs}}</ref>

Prior to its dissolution in 2020, the {{convert|247|km2|adj=on}} municipality was the 306th largest by area out of the 422 municipalities in Norway. Stordal Municipality was the 398th most populous municipality in Norway with a population of about 947. The municipality's [[population density]] was {{convert|3.8|PD/km2}} and its population had decreased by 5.4% 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 parish of Stordal was established as a municipality on 1 January 1892 when the large [[Stranda Municipality]] was divided into two parts. The northwestern part became the new Stordal Municipality (population: 850) and the southwestern part continued as a much smaller [[Stranda Municipality]] (population: 1,459).<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, [[Ørskog Municipality]] (population: 1,664), [[Skodje Municipality]] (population: 2,048), and Stordal Municipality (population: 1,052) were merged to form a new, larger [[Ørskog Municipality]]. The merger, however, was short-lived, and on 1 January 1977 it was reversed and the three municipalities were once again separated.<ref name="Dag" />

On 1 January 2020, Stordal Municipality (population: 972) and [[Norddal Municipality]] (population: 1,670) were merged into the new [[Fjord Municipality]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Siverstøl |first=Anette |date=2017-08-09 |title=Stordal og Norddal blir truleg Fjord kommune |url=http://www.smp.no/nyheter/2017/08/09/Stordal-og-Norddal-blir-truleg-Fjord-kommune-15132183.ece |access-date=2017-10-19 |language=Norwegian |newspaper=Sunnmørsposten}}</ref>

===Name===
The municipality (originally the [[prestegjeld|parish]]) is named after the local Stordalen valley ({{langx|non|Stóladalr}}). The first element is the plural [[genitive case]] of {{wikt-lang|non|stóll}} which means "[[chair]]" or "[[throne]]". The may be because two mountains located around the valley have the name ''Stolen'' (meaning "the chair"). The last element is {{wikt-lang|non|dalr}} which means "[[valley]]" or "dale".<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=134 |language=no |authorlink=Oluf Rygh}}</ref> Historically, the name of the municipality was spelled ''Stordalen''. On 3 November 1917, a [[royal decree|royal resolution]] changed the spelling of the name of the municipality to ''Stordal'', removing the [[Definite article|definite form]] ending ''-en''.<ref>{{Cite journal |year=1917 |title=Norsk Lovtidende. 2den Afdeling. 1917.

===Coat of arms===
The [[coat of arms]] was granted on 30 August 1991 and they were in use until the municipality was dissolved on 1 January 2020. The official [[blazon]] is ''"[[Azure (heraldry)|Azure]], a [[Pale (heraldry)|pale]] [[Line (heraldry)|dovetailed]] [[Or (heraldry)|Or]]"'' ({{langx|no|På blå grunn ein gull stolpe laga med duestjertsnitt}}). This means the arms have a blue [[field (heraldry)|field]] (background) and the [[charge (heraldry)|charge]] is a [[Pale (heraldry)|pale]] with [[Line (heraldry)|dovetailed]] sides. 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 pale symbolises the [[forestry]] and furniture manufacturing in the municipality, which traditionally uses a [[Dovetail joint|dovetail]] system to join two pieces of wood. The same symbol also indicates the strong community feeling in the villages. 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=Stordal |access-date=2023-04-05 |publisher=Heraldry of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Stordal, Møre og Romsdal |url=https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/no-15-26.html |access-date=2023-04-05 |website=Flags of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=1991-08-30 |title=Godkjenning av våpen og flagg |url=https://lovdata.no/dokument/LFO/forskrift/1991-08-30-594 |access-date=2023-04-05 |website=Lovdata.no |publisher=Norges kommunal- og arbeidsdepartementet |language=no}}</ref> 

===Churches===
The [[Church of Norway]] had one parish with one church, within Stordal Municipality. It also included the former church, ''Rosekyrkja'', which was a museum. It was part of the [[Austre Sunnmøre prosti]] ([[deanery]]) in the [[Diocese of Møre]].

==Geography==
Stordal Municipality was located along the inner [[Storfjorden (Sunnmøre)|Storfjorden]] in [[Sunnmøre]]. The majority of the municipality was located east of the fjord, while a small uninhabited mountainous area on the west side of the fjord was also part of Stordal. [[Ytste Skotet]] is a preserved historic farm/museum that is located on the steep mountainsides on the west side of the fjord. Most of the municipality surrounded the ''Stordalen'' valley on the east side of the fjord.<ref name="snl" /> The highest point in the municipality was the {{convert|1531.3|m|adj=on}} tall mountain Seljebottstinden.<ref name="elev" />

The municipality was fairly isolated, with only two road connections to the outside world. [[Ørskog Municipality]] and [[Vestnes Municipality]] were located to the north, [[Rauma Municipality]] was located to the east, [[Norddal Municipality]] and [[Stranda Municipality]] were located to the south, and [[Sykkylven Municipality]] was located to the west. [[Norwegian County Road 650]] passed through the municipality from north to south, connecting it to Ørskog Municipality to the north and to Stranda Municipality to the south. Due to the mountainous landscape, the highway goes through the [[Dyrkorn Tunnel]] and [[Stordal Tunnel]] in the northern part of the municipality. The two tunnels are separated by the small village of [[Dyrkorn]].<ref name="snl" />

==Government==
While it existed, Stordal Municipality was responsible for [[primary education]] (through 10th grade), outpatient [[Health care|health services]], [[old age|senior citizen]] services, [[welfare spending|welfare]] and other [[Social work|social services]], [[zoning]], [[economic development]], and municipal [[road]]s and utilities. The municipality was governed by a [[Municipal council (Norway)|municipal council]] of [[Direct election|directly elected]] representatives. The [[mayor]] was [[Indirect election|indirectly elected]] by a vote of the municipal council.<ref name="ks">{{Cite SNL|kommunestyre|kommunestyre|2024-12-31|Hansen|Tore|2024-11-25|editor2-last=Vabo |editor2-first=Signy Irene}}</ref> The municipality was under the jurisdiction of the [[Sunnmøre District Court]] and the [[Frostating Court of Appeal]].

===Municipal council===
The [[Municipal council (Norway)|municipal council]] ({{lang|no|Kommunestyre}}) of Stordal is made up of 15 representatives that are elected to four year terms. The tables below show the historical composition of the council by political [[Political party|party]].
