History
The municipality of Børsa was established on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt). On 1 January 1890, the municipality was divided into two: Børseskognen (population: 1,410) in the south and Børsa (population: 2,300) in the north. On 1 January 1905, the area of northwest of the Orkdalsfjord became the new municipality of Geitastrand (population: 674) and the area southeast of the fjord remained as Børsa with a population of 1,420. On 1 January 1965, Børsa, Skaun, and Buvik were merged to form the new, larger municipality of Skaun. Before the merger, Børsa had a population of 1,476.[4]
