History

[edit]

The municipality was established asIndvigenformannskapsdistrikton 1 January 1838. In 1843, the eastern part of the municipality was separated from Innvik to form the newStryn Municipality,leaving Innvik with 2,675 inhabitants. On 1 October 1922, the Raksgrenda area (between the villages ofLoenandStryn), with 120 inhabitants, was administratively transferred from Innvik to Stryn. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of theSchei Committee.On 1 January 1965, Innvik Municipality and neighboring Stryn Municipality were merged back together, creating a much larger municipality named Stryn. Prior to the merger, Innvik municipality had 3,003 inhabitants.[3]

Name

[edit]

The municipality (originally theparish) is named after the oldInnvikfarm (Old Norse:Víkr) since the firstInnvik Churchwas built there. The original name was the plural form of the wordvíkwhich means "smallbay","cove",or"inlet".Some time around the 15th century, the prefixinn(which means "inside" or "inner" ) was added to distinguish the area from nearbyUtvik(meaning "outer" Vik).[1][4]Historically, the name of the municipality was spelledIndviken.On 3 November 1917, aroyal resolutionchanged the spelling of the name of the municipality toInnvik,removing thedefinite formending-enand using a "inn" instead of more Danish spelling of "ind".[5]
