Together with the neighboring Harstad Municipality, the two municipalities cover a large part of the island of Hinnøya in the southern part of the Troms county. Kvæfjord consists mostly of mountains and fjords. The municipality centers on the Kvæfjorden and Gullesfjorden.

Kvæfjord is also where the Norwegian national cake, Kvæfjord cake, originally comes from.

The 513-square-kilometre (198 sq mi) municipality is the 207th largest by area out of the 357 municipalities in Norway. Kvæfjord is the 237th most populous municipality in Norway with a population of 2,845. The municipality's population density is 5.5 inhabitants per square kilometre (14/sq mi) and its population has decreased by 8.4% over the previous 10-year period.[5][6]

General information

edit
 
Kvæfjord map

Kvæfjord was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law). On 25 October 1956, a part of Kvæfjord Municipality (population: 32) was transferred to neighboring Trondenes Municipality. On 1 January 2000, the part of Kvæfjord Municipality that surrounded the Godfjorden (population: 102) was transferred from Kvæfjord to Sortland Municipality (in neighboring Nordland county).[7]

On 1 January 2020, the municipality became part of the newly formed Troms og Finnmark county. Previously, it had been part of the old Troms county.[8] On 1 January 2024, the Troms og Finnmark county was divided and the municipality once again became part of Troms county.[9]

Name

edit

The municipality (originally the parish) is named after local fjord known as the Kvæfjorden (Old Norse: Kviðjufjǫrðr) since the first Kvæfjord Church was built along the shore of the fjord. The first element is the genitive case of the name of the island Kviðja (now known as Kveøya) which lies in the fjord. The name of the island might be derived from the word kviðr which means "belly" or "stomach". The last element of the name is fjǫrðr which means "fjord". Prior to 1889, the name was spelled Kvædfjord.[10]

Coat of arms

edit

The coat of arms was granted on 4 April 1986. The official blazon is "Vert, a strawberry plant Or" (Norwegian: I grønt en gull jordbærplante). This means the arms have a green field (background) and the charge is a strawberry plant. The strawberry plant has a tincture of Or which means it is commonly colored yellow, but if it is made out of metal, then gold is used. The green color in the field symbolizes the importance of agriculture in the municipality, along with fertility, growth, and renewal. The strawberry was chosen since it is the northernmost municipality in Norway where strawberries are produced commercially. The arms were designed by Arvid Sveen.[11][12][13]

Churches

Economy

Kvæfjord landscape

The municipality is known for agriculture and farming. The quality of the strawberries is famous. The long hours of daylight, combined with relatively low summer temperatures, make the strawberries more tasteful than berries grown in warmer climates.

A large institution for the mentally handicapped was once located in Kvæfjord. It employed a large number of health workers.

Geography

edit

The municipality is located on Hinnøya island and it is split by three smaller branches of the large Andfjorden: Gullesfjorden, Kvæfjorden, and Godfjorden. The island of Kveøya is located in the middle of the Kvæfjorden, across from Borkenes.

The landscape of today was largely formed during the last ice age. When the ice retreated, the terrain rose by 50 metres (164 ft). It is in this belt of old seabed that today's best farm land is located. There are four county roads connecting the municipality: two to the north and one each to the east and south. The highest point in the municipality is the 1,117.38-metre (3,665.9 ft) tall mountain Tverrelvtindan.[1] The 412-metre (1,352 ft) tall mountain Nupen is located in the northern part of the municipality on the border with Harstad.

Climate

edit

Kvæfjord has a subpolar oceanic climate, and is mild for the high latitude. The wettest season is September - January, and the driest season is April - August.
