Buvik is a former municipality in Sør-Trøndelag county, Norway. The administrative centre was located in the village of Buvika. Buvik encompasses the extreme northeastern part of the present-day municipality of Skaun. It encompassed the area surrounding the Vigda river south of the Gaulosen fjord.[1]
History
The municipality was established in 1855 when it split off from the old municipality of Byneset. Initially, Buvik had a population of 841. On 1 January 1964, the Langørgen farm area (population: 11) was merged into the neighboring municipality of Melhus. On 1 January 1965, the rest of Buvik (population: 1,267) was merged with Børsa and Skaun to form a new, larger municipality of Skaun.[2]
