Name
The municipal name was spelled Stoksund, with one "k", but today the name of the area is often spelled as "Stokksund". Currently, the official name of the area according to the Norwegian Mapping and Cadastre Authority uses Stokksund, with the letter k used two times. There is no official documentation that exists that shows an official change in the spelling of "Stoksund" to or from "Stokksund".[3][4]
History
The municipality of Stoksund was established on 1 June 1892 when the old municipality of Bjørnør was divided into three separate municipalities: Stoksund (population: 1,122), Osen (population: 1,575), and Roan (population: 2,069).
During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, the municipality of Stoksund (population: 1,515) was merged into the neighboring municipality of Åfjord (population: 2,643) to its south.[5]
Government
All municipalities in Norway, including Stoksund, 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 elects a mayor.[6]
