Data from Statistics Norway

The 755-square-kilometre (292 sq mi) municipality is the 150th largest by area out of the 356 municipalities in Norway. Høylandet is the 319th most populous municipality in Norway with a population of 1,193. The municipality's population density is 1.7 inhabitants per square kilometre (4.4/sq mi) and its population has decreased by 5.6% over the previous 10-year period.[3][4]

General information

The municipality of Høylandet was established on 1 January 1901 when it was separated from the large municipality of Grong. Initially, the population of Høylandet was 1,046. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, the Kongsmoen area (population: 221) of eastern Foldereid municipality was merged into Høylandet. On that same date the Galguften and Hauknes areas (population: 15) were transferred from Høylandet to neighboring Overhalla municipality.[5] On 1 January 2018, the municipality switched from the old Nord-Trøndelag county to the new Trøndelag county.

Name

The Old Norse form of the name was Høylandir. The first element is høy which means "hay" and the last element is the plural form of land which means "land" or "region". The name was historically spelled Hølandet.[6]

Coat of arms

The coat of arms was granted on 2 January 1990. The arms show a black and white whooper swan (Cygnus cygnus) on a green background. This was chosen because of the large number of these swans that migrate through the area each year.[7][8]

Churches

The Church of Norway has one parish (sokn) within the municipality of Høylandet. It is part of the Namdal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nidaros.

Geography

There are several large lakes in Høylandet including Almåsgrønningen, Eidsvatnet, Grungstadvatnet, Øyvatnet, and Storgrønningen. The innermost part of the Foldafjord is located in northern Høylandet. Norwegian County Road 17 runs through the municipality from south to north through the central valley.

Government

All municipalities in Norway, including Høylandet, are responsible for primary education (through 10th grade), outpatient health services, senior citizen services, unemployment and other social services, zoning, economic development, and municipal roads. The municipality is governed by a municipal council of elected representatives, which in turn elect a mayor.[9] The municipality falls under the Trøndelag District Court and the Frostating Court of Appeal.
