Drevja is a former municipality in Nordland county, Norway. The municipality existed from 1927 until its dissolution in 1962. It was located in the Drevja valley, north of the Vefsnfjorden in the northern part of the present-day Vefsn Municipality. Drevja Church was the main church for the municipality.[2]

History

Drevja Church

The municipality of Drevja was established on 1 July 1927 when the large Vefsn Municipality was divided into three municipalities: Drevja (population: 964) in the north, Grane (population: 1,746) in the south, and Vefsn (population: 3,119) in the center.

During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1962, the municipality of Drevja (population: 1,001) was merged with the neighboring municipalities of Elsfjord (population: 920) and Vefsn (population: 5,358) and with the town of Mosjøen) to form a new, larger Vefsn Municipality.[3]

Name

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'.[4]
