Borgund Municipality (Møre og Romsdal)

Borgund is a former municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. The 150.8-square-kilometre (58.2 sq mi) municipality existed from 1838 until its dissolution in 1968. The area is now part of Ålesund Municipality in the traditional district of Sunnmøre. The administrative centre of the municipality was at Borgund, near the church, along the Nørvasundet strait.

Borgund originally encompassed the large area north of the Storfjorden and south of the Grytafjorden, from the mainland areas in the eastern part of today's Ålesund Municipality to the islands of today's Giske Municipality and the ocean in the west. The city of Ålesund was located in the central part of Borgund, however, the city itself was not part of Borgund, and it was governed separately. At its dissolution in 1968, Borgund Municipality included the islands of Sula, Humla, Tørla, and Ellingsøya, as well as parts of Uksenøya, Hessa, and Nørve, plus many minor islands throughout the area. The main church for the municipality was Borgund Church, located at Borgund (on the western tip of Uksenøya).

Prior to its dissolution in 1968, the 150.8-square-kilometre (58.2 sq mi) municipality was the 351st largest by area out of the 454 municipalities in Norway. Borgund Municipality was the 28th most populous municipality in Norway with a population of about 19,516. The municipality's population density was 129.4 inhabitants per square kilometre (335/sq mi) and its population had increased by 27.5% over the previous 10-year period.
