Seljord (Norwegian pronunciation: [ˈsæɭjuːr]; locally [ˈsɪʎjuːr]) is a municipality in Telemark county, Norway. It is located in the traditional district of Vest-Telemark and the larger Øvre Telemark. The administrative centre of the municipality is the village of Seljord. Other villages in the municipality include Flatdal and Åmotsdal.[2]

The 715.08-square-kilometre (276.09 sq mi) municipality is the 161st largest by area out of the 357 municipalities in Norway. Seljord Municipality is the 230th most populous municipality in Norway with a population of 2,959. The municipality's population density is 4.4 inhabitants per square kilometre (11/sq mi) and its population has decreased by 1.1% over the previous 10-year period.[3][4]

Seljord is famous for its sea serpent, Selma, who allegedly lives in the lake Seljordsvatnet. The yearly Dyrsku'n market, held since 1866, attracts 60,000 to 80,000 visitors each year. The large fair started as a show of farm animals. More recently, it also includes a huge market with vendors selling a variety of goods including base layer clothing, Bergans outdoors equipment, crafts, and food. Amusement rides are also featured. Seljord folk high school is located in Seljord. The school offers a variety of courses including outdoor adventure, theater, music, and art.[2]

General information

[edit]

Administrative history

[edit]

The formannskapsdistrikt law of 1837 created a system of local government in Norway by establishing each town (ladested or kjøpstad) and each Church of Norway prestegjeld as a civil municipality. On 1 January 1838, Sillejord prestegejdl was established as Sillejord Municipality (later spelled Seljord).[5][6]

On 11 October 1873, an unpopulated area of Kviteseid Municipality was transferred to Seljord Municipality. On 1 January 1883, an area of southeastern Seljord Municipality (population: 235) was transferred to the neighboring Bø Municipality. On 23 January 1905, an unpopulated part of Hjartdal Municipality was transferred into Seljord Municipality.[6]

In 2020, there were many municipal and county mergers across Norway due to the work of the Solberg cabinet.[7] Historically, this municipality was part of Telemark county. On 1 January 2020, the municipality became a part of the newly-formed Vestfold og Telemark county (after Telemark and Vestfold counties were merged). The merger was shortlived, and on 1 January 2024, the merger was undone and this municipality became part of Telemark county once again.[8]

Name

[edit]

The municipality is named after the old Seljord prestegjeld. The prestegjeld was named after the old Seljord farm (Old Norse: Seljugerði) since the first Seljord Church was built there. The first element is the genitive case of the word selja which means "sallow-tree" or "willow". The last element is gerði which means "field". Prior to 1889, the name was spelled Silgjord or Sillejord.[9]

Coat of arms

[edit]

The coat of arms was granted on 15 September 1989. The official blazon is "Gules, a sea serpent Or" (Norwegian: På raud grunn ein gull sjøorm). This means the arms have a red field (background) and the charge is a sea serpent. The charge 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 design symbolizes the local legend of a sea serpent named Selma who allegedly lives in the lake Seljordsvatn. The arms were designed by Trygve Magnus Barstad. The municipal flag has the same design as the coat of arms.[10][11][12][13]

Churches

[edit]

The Church of Norway has one parish (sokn) within Seljord Municipality. It is part of the Øvre Telemark prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Agder og Telemark.

Geography

[edit]

The municipality lies in the central part of Øvre Telemark. There are two large lakes in the municipality: Sundsbarmvatn and Seljordsvatn. The highest point in the municipality is the 1,539.99-metre (5,052.5 ft) tall mountain Brattefjell which is located in the northern part of the municipality.[1] Tinn Municipality lies to the north, Hjartdal Municipality lies to the northeast, Notodden Municipality lies to the east, Midt-Telemark Municipality lies to the southeast, Kviteseid Municipality lies to the south, Tokke Municipality lies to the west, and Vinje Municipality lies to the northwest.

Government

[edit]

Seljord Municipality is responsible for primary education (through 10th grade), outpatient health services, senior citizen services, welfare and other social services, zoning, economic development, and municipal roads and utilities. The municipality is governed by a municipal council of directly elected representatives. The mayor is indirectly elected by a vote of the municipal council.[14] The municipality is under the jurisdiction of the Øvre Telemark District Court and the Agder Court of Appeal.
