'''Tjølling''' is a [[List of former municipalities of Norway|former municipality]] in [[Vestfold]] county, [[Norway]]. The {{convert|70|km2|adj=on}} municipality existed from 1838 until its dissolution in 1988. The area is now part of [[Larvik Municipality]]. The [[administrative centre]] was the village of [[Tjøllingvollen]]. Other villages in Tjølling included [[Hem, Norway|Hem]], [[Rekkevik]], and [[Ula, Norway|Ula]].<ref name="snl">{{Cite encyclopedia |title=Tjølling |encyclopedia=[[Store norske leksikon]] |publisher=[[Kunnskapsforlaget]] |url=https://snl.no/Tj%C3%B8lling |date=2023-02-18 |editor-last=Thorsnæs |editor-first=Geir |language=no |editor-first2=Lars |editor-last2=Mæhlum |accessdate=2023-10-29}}</ref>
==General information==
The [[prestegjeld|parish]] of Tjølling was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see [[formannskapsdistrikt]] law). On 1 January 1891, an area of Tjølling municipality (population: 11) was transferred to the neighboring [[Hedrum]] municipality. On 1 January 1988, the municipality was dissolved as part of a major municipality merger which consolidated the municipalities of [[Brunlanes]] (population: 8,138), [[Hedrum]] (population: 10,449), and Tjølling (population: 7,878) with the towns of [[Larvik (town)|Larvik]] (population: 8,045) and [[Stavern]] (population: 2,538) to create a new, much larger [[Larvik Municipality]] with a population of 37,048 people.<ref name="Dag">{{Cite book |last=Jukvam |first=Dag |year=1999 |title=Historisk oversikt over endringer i kommune- og fylkesinndelingen |url=http://www.ssb.no/emner/00/90/rapp_9913/rapp_9913.pdf |publisher=[[Statistics Norway|Statistisk sentralbyrå]] |language=no |isbn=9788253746845}}</ref>
===Name===
The municipality (originally the [[prestegjeld|parish]]) is named after an old name for the area ({{langx|non|Þjóðarlyng}}) since the first [[Tjølling Church]] was built there. The first element is the [[genitive case]] of the word {{wikt-lang|non|þjóð}} which means "crowd of people" or "assembly". This is likely because the site was apparently the location of a [[thing (assembly)|Thing]] for the district long before the introduction of [[Christianity]]. The last element is {{wikt-lang|non|lyng}} which means "[[Calluna vulgaris|heather]]".<ref>{{Cite book |last=Rygh |first=Oluf |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=3YpBAAAAIAAJ |title=Norske gaardnavne: Jarlsberg og Larviks amt |date=1907 |publisher=W.

===Coat of arms===
The [[coat of arms]] was granted on 7 May 1971. The official [[blazon]] is ''"[[Azure (heraldry)|Azure]], two longships [[argent]] [[in pale]]"'' ({{langx|no|På blå bunn to sølv langskip}}). This means the arms have a blue [[field (heraldry)|field]] (background) and the [[charge (heraldry)|charge]] is a set of two [[longship]]s, one above the other. The pair of longships has a [[tincture (heraldry)|tincture]] of [[argent]] which means it is commonly colored white, but if it is made out of metal, then silver is used. The two Viking ships in the arms and refer to the long history of the area. The arms were designed by [[Hallvard Trætteberg]]. The municipal flag has the same design as the coat of arms.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Civic heraldry of Norway - Norske Kommunevåpen |url=https://www.heraldry-wiki.com/heraldrywiki/index.php?title=Tjølling |access-date=2023-10-29 |publisher=Heraldry of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Larvik |url=https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/no-07-09.html |access-date=2023-10-29 |website=Flags of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=1971-05-07 |title=Forskrift om herredsvåpen/herredsflagg, Tjølling kommune, Vestfold |url=https://lovdata.no/dokument/LF/forskrift/1971-05-07-5 |access-date=2023-10-29 |website=Lovdata.no |publisher=Norges kommunal- og arbeidsdepartementet |language=no}}</ref>

==History==
Tjølling is the site of one of the oldest [[Viking Age]] settlements within [[Scandinavia]]. [[Kaupang]] was a big trading centre for the Vikings. Kaupang is considered to be Norway's first city, being mentioned by [[Ohthere of Hålogaland]] when he visited [[Alfred the Great|Alfred the great]] around year 890. There have been several earlier [[archaeological]] surveys and excavations at Kaupang. In 1867, [[antiquarian]] [[Nicolay Nicolaysen]] mapped one of the grave-fields around the former town and excavated 79 grave mounds. He uncovered a cremation cemetery, largely dated to the 10th century. Charlotte Blindheim (1917-2005) started excavating in 1947 and completed her last publication in 1999. In 1997, Dagfinn Skre and his associates from the [[University of Oslo]] undertook a new program of work at Kaupang followed by a large excavation that ran over three years, from 2000 till 2002. Most recently it has been the site of post-excavation work conducted by the [[University of Oslo]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=New archaeological investigations of Norway's Viking town |url=http://www.kaupang.uio.no/eng/about/background.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070821123210/http://www.kaupang.uio.no/eng/about/background.html |archive-date=2007-08-21 |publisher=Kaupang Excavation Project}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Kaupang |url=http://www.kaupangprosjektet.no/index.php?art=10044 |publisher=kaupangprosjektet |language=no}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Skre |first=Dagfinn |title=Kaupang in Skiringssal |publisher=Kaupang Excavation Project Publication Series |year=2007 |isbn=9788779342590}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last1=Skre |first1=Dagfinn |title=Kaupang the Viking town |last2=Stylegar |first2=Frans-Arne |publisher=Jac Trykk AS |year=2008 |isbn=978-8280840189 |location=Oslo, Norge |language=no}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Krohn-Holm |first=Jan W. |title=Tjølling bygdebok |publisher=Tjølling Kommune |year=1970 |isbn=8299034108 |language=no}}</ref>
[[Tjøllingvollen]] (or simply ''Vollen'') is located at the highest part of the outer [[raet]]. The village is the administrative centre of Tjølling. The village is a well developed rural area, with a grocery store, kindergarten, post office, primary and secondary school, health and elderly institutions, among others. During the 1960s and 1970s, the residential area of Vollen was expanded and this has continued into the 21st century.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Tjøllingtunet - 20 nye leiligheter med fin beliggenhet på Tjøllingvollen - Heis/Garasje - 16 SOLGT!

===Tjølling Church===
[[File:Tjoelling kyrkje.jpg|thumb|right|[[Tjølling Church]] at Larvik in Vestfold]]
{{main article|Tjølling Church}}
[[Tjølling Church]] (''Tjølling kirke'') was originally constructed as a medieval stone church in the 12th century. The church was hit by a fire in 1360 and was then rebuilt. An earthquake damaged the church in the 1750s. It has been speculated that it was the [[1755 Lisbon earthquake]], but it's more plausible that it was an earthquake in [[Kattegat]] in 1759 that caused the damages.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Basilica |url=http://ridanos.com/basilica.htm |access-date=2022-07-03 |website=ridanos.com}}</ref> It was rebuilt from 1762 to 1767 as a Romanesque church with interiors from different eras. The restoration in 1860 gave Tjølling church its present appearance.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Tjølling kirke |url=http://kunsthistorie.com/fagwiki/Tj%C3%B8lling_kirke |publisher=Kunsthistorie |language=no}}</ref>
==Government==
While it existed, this municipality was responsible for [[primary education]] (through 10th grade), outpatient [[Health care|health services]], [[old age|senior citizen]] services, [[unemployment]], [[Social work|social services]], [[zoning]], [[economic development]], and municipal [[road]]s. During its existence, this municipality was governed by a [[Municipal council (Norway)|municipal council]] of [[Direct election|directly elected]] representatives. The [[mayor]] was [[Indirect election|indirectly elected]] by a vote of the municipal council.<ref name="ks">{{Cite encyclopedia |title=kommunestyre |encyclopedia=[[Store norske leksikon]] |publisher=[[Kunnskapsforlaget]] |url=https://snl.no/kommunestyre |date=2022-09-20 |editor-last=Hansen |editor-first=Tore |editor2-last=Vabo |editor2-first=Signy Irene |language=no |access-date=2023-08-03}}</ref>
