The historic parish of Aa was established as Lyngdal Municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law).

On 1 January 1909, Lyngdal Municipality was divided into three municipalities:[7]

  • the southern coastal area (population: 1,263) became the new Austad Municipality
  • the northern area (population: 736) became the new Kvaas Municipality
  • the central area (population: 2,698) continued as a smaller Lyngdal Municipality

During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee.[8][9] On 1 January 1963, the following areas were merged to form a new, larger Lyngdal Municipality:[7]

On 1 January 1971, the Ytre Skarstein and Indre Skarstein areas of Lyngdal Municipality (population: 21) was transferred to the neighboring Farsund Municipality.[7]

On 1 January 2001, the municipal council of Lyngdal Municipality declared that the municipal centre of Alleen would be a town (Norwegian: By) called Lyngdal.

In 2020, there were many municipal and county mergers across Norway due to the work of the Solberg cabinet.[9] Historically, this municipality was part of the old Vest-Agder county. On 1 January 2020, the municipality became a part of the newly-formed Agder county (after Aust-Agder and Vest-Agder counties were merged).[10] Also on 1 January 2020, Lyngdal Municipality (population: 8,609) and Audnedal Municipality (population: 1,780) were merged to form an enlarged Lyngdal Municipality.[11][12]

Name

The municipality is named after the Lyngdalen valley (Old Norse: Lygnudalr) since it is the valley in which the municipality is located. The first element is the genitive case of the river name Lygna. This name comes from the word logn which means "quietness" or "calm". The last element is dalr which means "valley" or "dale". Prior to 1908, the parish (but not the municipality) of Lyngdal was called Aa, named after the vicarage. The name of the vicarage was first mentioned in 1312 as "a Am", the dative plural of á which means "(small) river". The farm lies between two rivers.[13]

Coat of arms

Arms from 1987 to 2019
Current arms since 2020

The original coat of arms was granted on 27 March 1987 and in use until 1 January 2020 when the municipality was enlarged. The official blazon was "Vert a cow statant argent" (Norwegian: I grønt en stående sølv ku). This means the arms had a green field (background) and the charge was a cow that was facing to the left. The cow had a tincture of argent which meant it was commonly colored white, but if it was made out of metal, then silver was used. The cow was chosen since the local breed of cows (lyngdalsku) has been very well known across Norway since the 19th century. The yearly cattle fair traders from all over Southern Norway and Western Norway visit the municipality to get cows. The arms were designed by Torgeir Schjølberg.[14][15][16]

The current coat of arms was approved for use starting on 1 January 2020. The arms have a green field (background) and the charge is a tree on top of three wavy lines. The tree and wavy lines have a tincture of argent which means it is commonly colored white, but if it is made out of metal, then silver is used. The tree symbolizes growth. It has nine leaves symbolizing the nine main population centres within Lyngdal. The wavy lines represent waves and meadows. There are three white lines to represent the three large rivers in the municipality: Lygna, Audna, and Mandalselva. The two green wavy lines (between the white wavy lines represent the two valleys in the municipality: Lyngdalen and Audnedalen. The arms were designed by Richard Haugland.[17]

History

Population of Lyngdal, 1900-2001 (SSB).

The island of Sælør on the southern coast of the municipality is mentioned in Snorre, as the king Saint Olav spent a winter here in 1028. Based around the port of Agnefest, Lyngdal prospered on maritime trade, and in 1771 an application was made for status as a small coastal town. Its coastal location also facilitated emigration; in the 17th and 18th century largely to the Dutch Republic, and in the 19th century to the United States.

Even before the merger of the municipalities in 1964, the parishes of Austad and Kvås, together with Å (or Aa - Lyngdal proper), made up the greater Lyngdal parish. A census from 1801 showed 3529 inhabitants in the area that today makes up Lyngdal: 1850 in Å, 929 in Austad, 585 in Kvås and 165 in the eastern part of Spangereid. The number today is approximately 8000 inhabitants.[18]

Religious life and missionary work have always had a strong position in Lyngdal, and worthy of special note is the minister Gabriel Kielland (1796–1854), who served in the parish from 1837 to 1854, and his wife Gustava (1800–1889). Known today as a missionary pioneer and a popular songwriter, Gustava also wrote one of the first autobiographies by a woman in Norway: her "Reminiscence from my Life" from 1880.[19]
