Stjørna
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stjørna (old name Skjørn) is a former municipality in Sør-Trøndelag county, Norway.
It was created when Bjugn municipality was split in three on January 1, 1899, which also created a third municipality named Nes. At that time Skjørn had a population of 2,166. It is unclear when the name change to Stjørna took place.
On 1 January 1964 the northern part of the municipality (Nord-Stjørna) with 676 inhabitants was reunited with Bjugn. The southern part (Sør-Stjørna) with 1,868 inhabitants became a part of Rissa.
The administrative centre of Stjørna was Husbysjøen, which today is located in Rissa.
