General information
edit
Gloppen was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law). The original municipality was identical to the Gloppen parish (prestegjeld) including the sub-parishes (sokn) of Gimmestad, Breim, and Vereide. On 1 January 1886, the sub-parish of Breim (population: 1,823) was separated from Gloppen to form its own municipality. This left Gloppen with 2,970 residents.[6]
During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, the municipality of Breim (population: 1,731) was merged back into the municipality of Gloppen. After the merger, the population of Gloppen was 5,702. On 1 January 1965, the Hoplandsgrenda area (population: 42) of Gloppen municipality (on the northern shore of the Nordfjorden) was transferred to neighboring Stryn Municipality. On 1 January 1992, the Lote area of Gloppen (also on the north side of the Nordfjorden) was transferred to Eid Municipality. This left all of Gloppen located south of the Nordfjorden.[6]
On 1 January 2020, the municipality became part of the newly created Vestland county after Sogn og Fjordane and Hordaland counties were merged.
Name
editThe municipality (originally the parish) is named after the local Gloppefjorden (Old Norse: Gloppi) since it is one of the central geographical features of the municipality. The name is probably derived from the word gloppa which means "narrow opening" or "mountain gorge".[7]
Coat of arms
editThe coat of arms was granted on 19 December 1986. The official blazon is "Azure, a horse passant argent" (Norwegian: På blå grunn ein gåande sølv hest). This means the arms have a blue field (background) and the charge is a fjord horse. The horse has a tincture of argent which means it is commonly colored white, but if it is made out of metal, then silver is used. The design depicts the Norwegian fjord horse which is a relatively small, but very strong, horse breed from the mountainous regions of Western Norway. The arms were designed by Petter Eide. The municipal flag has the same design as the coat of arms.[8][9][10]
Churches
editThe Church of Norway has four parishes (sokn) within the municipality of Gloppen. It is part of the Nordfjord prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin.
| Parish (sokn) | Church name | Location of the church | Year built |
|---|---|---|---|
| Breim | Breim Church | Re | 1886 |
| Gimmestad | Gimmestad Church | Sørstranda | 1910 |

Geography
editThe municipality is located southern shores of the Nordfjorden. To the north is Stad Municipality, to the east is Stryn Municipality, to the south is Sunnfjord Municipality, and to the west is Kinn Municipality and Bremanger Municipality. There are two fjords that branch off the main fjord into Gloppen: Hyefjorden and Gloppefjorden.
Gloppen has a natural landscape with virtually unspoiled nature ranging from sea level up to high-alpine mountains of some 1,800 metres (5,900 ft) height. Snønipa is the highest mountain in the municipality and is located at the Myklebustbreen glacier. The lakes Breimsvatn and Emhjellevatnet are, respectively, the first and second largest lakes in Gloppen. There are also some large glaciers such as Ålfotbreen, Gjegnalundsbreen, and Myklebustbreen. The river Gloppeelva runs from the lake Breimsvatnet to the Gloppefjorden.
Climate
editGloppen has a temperate oceanic climate (Cfb in the Köppen climate classification), also known as a marine west coast climate. The wettest season is autumn and winter, with December as the wettest month. The driest season is April - August. The driest month May gets about a third of the average precipitation in December. The average date for the last overnight freeze (low below 0 °C (32.0 °F)) in spring is 27 April[33] and average date for first freeze in autumn is 15 October[34] giving a frost-free season of 170 days (1981-2010 average). In January 1987, Sandane recorded a low of −19.5 °C (−3.1 °F)), and June 2020 recorded a high of 31.2 °C (88.2 °F)). In October 2005, Sandane recorded 24 °C (75.2 °F)), which was new October record for Vestland province. The Sandane weather station started recording in June 1957. There is also a weather station at Sandane Airport, showing similar temperatures. Up on the Ålfotbreen glacier, partly in the municipality, precipitation is estimated to be around 6,000 millimetres (240 in) annually.[35]
