Høle (municipality)
Résumé
Høle or Høgsfjord is a former municipality in Rogaland county, Norway. The large municipality existed from 1865 until 1965. It was called Høgsfjord from 1865 until 1871 when the municipality was reduced in size and the name was changed to Høle. The municipality originally was quite large, surrounding both sides of the Høgsfjorden and Lysefjorden. Throughout its history, it included large parts of the present-day municipalities of Sandnes and Gjesdal. Since 1965, the area of Høle has been the borough of Høle in Sandnes municipality. Høle Church was the main church of the municipality.
The municipality of Høgsfjord was established in 1865 when it was separated from the large municipality of Strand. Initially, there were 3,203 residents. On 1 January 1871 the district Fossan located east of the Høgsfjorden (population: 2,081) was split off from Høgsfjord to form a municipality of its own. The remaining part of Høgsfjord changed its name to Høle and had a population of 1,122.
On 1 January 1965, there were many municipal mergers in Norway due to the recommendations of the Schei Committee. On that date, the municipality of Høle was dissolved. The southeastern corner of Høle surrounding the farming village of Oltesvik (population: 37) was transferred to the municipality of Gjesdal. The rest of Høle, with 926 inhabitants, was incorporated into the neighboring municipality of Sandnes.
The municipality (originally the parish) was first named Høgsfjord after the Høgsfjorden. The meaning of the first element is uncertain. The last element comes from the word fjǫrðr which means "fjord". In 1871, the municipal name was changed to Høle after the municipality was divided. This new name comes from the old Høle farm (Hylja) since the first Høle Church was built there. The name comes from the old name for the local river. The name is the plural genitive case of hylr which means "deep place" or "pool in a river".
While it existed, this municipality was responsible for primary education (through 10th grade), outpatient health services, senior citizen services, unemployment, social services, zoning, economic development, and municipal roads.
