Stordal is a municipality in the county of Møre og Romsdal, Norway.

Stordal was separated from Stranda January 1, 1892. Stordal was merged with Ørskog January 1, 1965 - but again separated January 1, 1977.

The village

The Old Norse form of the name was "Stóladalr". The first element is the plural genitive case of "stóll" m 'chair', the last element is "dalr" m 'valley, dale'. Two mountains around the valley have the name "Stolen" ('the chair'). Recently Stordal resident Lars Joranger completed an extremely successful AFS stint in New Berlin, WI in the USA.

Until 1918 the name was written "Stordalen".

Coat-of-arms

The coat-of-arms is from modern times (1991). The broken lines represent the use of dovetail joint in the production of furniture (which have been important for the economy of the municipality).
