'''Öckerö Municipality''' (''Öckerö kommun'') is a [[municipalities o Swaden|municipality]] in [[Västra Götaland Coonty]] in wastren [[Swaden]]. Its seat is locatit in the toun o [[Öckerö]] on the main [[island]], which is cried Öckerö an aw.
The municipality consists o islands in the [[Northren Gothenburg Airchipelago]], juist ootside o [[Gothenburg]]. Wi a tot aurie o 26.03 km² it is ane o the smawest [[municipalities o Swaden]].
The municipality is ane o vera few in Swaden which haes no been [[amalgamat]]it an sicweys still haes the same aurie as the unit formed oot o a [[pairish]] (''socken'') bi the first local govrenment acts o 1862. In the period 1915–1959 thare wur a nummer o ''municipalsamhällen'' (a sort o [[borough]]s athin a rural municipality handlin matters o urban character) in the municipality.
==Specifics==
The municipality consists o ten year-roond inhabitit islands. Thay are considered tae stretch frae a renouned [[lichthoose]] cried ''[[Vinga Lighthouse|Vinga fyr]]'' up tae the coastal toun o [[Marstrand]] in the municipality o [[Kungälv Municipality|Kungälv]]. The ten islands are named:
#[[Bohus-Björkö]]
#[[Fotö]]
#[[Grötö]]
#[[Hyppeln]]
#[[Hälsö]]
#[[Hönö]]
#[[Kalvsund]]
#[[Källö-Knippla]]
#[[Rörö]]
#[[Öckerö]]
N.B. that "ö" means "island" in [[Swadish leid|Swedish]], hence aw names end wi "ö". E.g. ''Björkö'' means "Birch Island".
O thir, Hönö is the lairgest wi some 4,800 indwallers, an Öckerö is fairly lairge wi 3,100 an aw. Housomeivver, aw ten are inhabitit bi Fowk aw year aroond. Maist islands hae brig connection atween ilk ither. Housomeivver, thare is nae road connection tae the mainland, juist caur [[ferry|ferries]] frae wastren [[Gothenburg]]. The ferry connections are guid wi a dense schedule. A local referendum in 2003 in Öckerö Municipality rejectit the plans for a futur brig tae the mainland.
==History==
Durin the [[Viking Age]] the islands o Öckerö belanged tae the [[Keeng o Norawa|Norse keengs]], an the pairt o the coast wis kent as ''Älvsyssel''. In the 13t century the King [[Håkan Håkansson o Norawa]] biggit hissel a hoose on Öckerö, acause he wis aften aroond thare wi his navy.
In 1658 or thereabout, the aurie became Swadish thegither wi [[Bohuslän]].
In the middle o the 18t century, the [[fishin]] o [[herring]] blossomed intae a full scaled industry, an the islands fishing communities flourished for some 50 years.
In the [[1950s]] the [[coat o airms]] wur designed. As the main industry haes aaways been fishin, a boat an herrin became seembols. The ten herrins correspond tae the ten islands.
