Tiller, Norway

Tiller is a former municipality in the old Sør-Trøndelag county, Norway. The 24-square-kilometre (9.3 sq mi) municipality of Tiller existed from 1899 until its dissolution in 1964. The municipality encompassed part of the south-central part of what is now the municipality of Trondheim in Trøndelag county. The municipality was generally located between the river Nidelva in the east and the Dovrebanen railway line. The administrative centre was located at Heimdal, on the western edge of the municipality. The local Tiller Church was built shortly after the creation of the municipality (1901) to serve its residents.[2]

History
Tiller Church

The municipality of Tiller was established on 1 January 1899 when the northwestern part of the municipality of Klæbu was split off to form a separate municipality. Initially, Tiller had a population of 533.[3]

During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, the neighboring municipalities of Byneset (population: 2,049), Leinstrand (population: 4,193), Strinda (population: 44,600), Tiller (population: 3,595), and the city of Trondheim (population: 56,982) were merged to form the new urban municipality of Trondheim which would have a total population of 111,419.[3]

Name

The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Tilder farm (Old Norse: Tildrar) since the first Tiller Church was built there. The name is the plural of the word tildr which was probably the old name for a local river that flows into the large river Nidelva. The meaning of the name is uncertain. Historically, the name was spelled Tilder until the early 20th century.[4]

Government

While it existed, this municipality was responsible for primary education (through 10th grade), outpatient health services, senior citizen services, unemployment, social services, zoning, economic development, and municipal roads. During its existence, this municipality was governed by a municipal council of elected representatives, which in turn elected a mayor.[5]
