Data from Statistics Norway

Håland (Urban East Norwegian: [ˈhòːlɑn])[2] is a former municipality in Rogaland county, Norway. It was part of the traditional district of Jæren, just west of the city of Stavanger. The municipality existed from 1838 until its dissolution in 1930 when it was split into the two municipalities of Sola and Madla. The 85-square-kilometre (33 sq mi) municipality included the land surrounding the Hafrsfjorden including all of the present-day municipality of Sola and the borough of Madla in the city of Stavanger.[3]

## History

[edit]

The historic parish of Haaland (later spelled Håland) included churches located in Sola, Tananger, Tjora, and Madla. On 1 January 1838, the parish of Haaland was established as a municipality (see formannskapsdistrikt law). Håland municipality existed until 1930, when it was split to form the two new municipalities of Madla (population: 1,091) and Sola (population: 3,372). Later, Madla was merged with the city of Stavanger and it now makes up the borough of Madla.[4]

### Name

[edit]

The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Haaland farm (Old Norse: Háland or Hávaland). The first element comes from the word hár which means "high" or "tall". The last element is land which means "land" or "district".[5] On 21 December 1917, a royal resolution enacted the 1917 Norwegian language reforms. Prior to this change, the name was spelled Haaland with the digraph "aa", and after this reform, the name was spelled Håland, using the letter å instead.[6][7]
