Drevja is a former municipality in Nordland county, Norway. It is located in the Drevja valley, north of the Vefsnfjorden in the northern part of the present-day municipality of Vefsn. Drevja Church was the main church for the municipality.[1]
History
The municipality of Drevja was established on 1 July 1927 when it was separated from the large municipality of Vefsn to form a municipality of its own. Initially, there were 964 residents in the new municipality.
On 1 January 1962, Drevja was merged together with the municipalities of Elsfjord, Vefsn, and the town of Mosjøen to form a new, larger municipality of Vefsn. Prior to the merger, Drevja had 1,001 residents.[2]
The municipality was named after the river Drevja (which flows from the lake Drevvatnet to the Vefsnfjorden). The name of the river is derived from the word drav (meaning 'rubbish' or 'waste'), thus the meaning is 'the river with unclean water'.
