Orkland is a former municipality in Sør-Trøndelag county, Norway. The municipality encompassed the southern third of the present-day municipality of Orkdal. The main church of the municipality was Moe Church, just south of Vormstad. Most of the population in the 169-square-kilometre (65 sq mi) municipality was based in the Orkdalen valley along the river Orklaelva and near the lake Hostovatnet. The main village areas were Vormstad, Svorkmo, and Hoston.[1]

History

The municipality of Orkland was originally a part of the municipality of Orkdal (see formannskapsdistrikt), but on 1 July 1920 it was separated from Orkdal to form a new municipality of its own. Initially, it had a population of 1,760. On 1 January 1963, the municipalities of Orkland, Orkanger, Orkdal, and Geitastrand were merged together to form a new, larger municipality of Orkdal. Prior to the merger, Orkland had a population of 1,707.[2]
