The parish of "Thime" was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law). The municipal borders have been slightly changed twice since that time. On 1 January 1970, a small unpopulated area was moved from Time to Gjesdal municipality. Then again on 1 January 1989 another unpopulated area was transferred to Gjesdal.[7] Both times it was to make more room for the growing village of Ålgård.
Name
The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Time farm (Old Norse: Þímin or Þímvin), since the first Time Church was built there. The meaning of the first element is unknown but the last element is vin which means "meadow" or "pasture". Historically, the municipality name was spelled Thime, but the "h" was dropped as the Norwegian language was reformed over time.[8]
Coat of arms
The coat of arms was granted on 23 December 1977. It shows a white or light gray northern lapwing (Vanellus vanellus) on a red background. This bird (known as a vipe in Norwegian) was chosen as a symbol for the municipality as it is a typical bird for the area. It is shown with wings upwards to symbolize optimism.[9]
Churches
The Church of Norway has three parishes (sokn) within the municipality of Time. It is part of the Jæren prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Stavanger.
| Parish (sokn) | Church name | Location of the church | Year built |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bryne | Bryne Church | Bryne | 1979 |
| Time | Time Church | Time (just outside Bryne) | 1859 |
| Undheim | Undheim Church | Undheim | 2001 |
Geography
Time is located in the district of Jæren which is mostly flat and agricultural. The river Figgjoelva marks the northern border of Time with the municipality of Sandnes. The large lake Frøylandsvatnet forms part of the border with the neighboring municipality of Klepp. The landlocked municipality also includes part of the "Høg-Jæren" ("high-Jæren") area which is not flat like the rest of the district. Høg-Jæren is more hilly, rugged, and less densely populated.[3]
Government
All municipalities in Norway, including Time, are responsible for primary education (through 10th grade), outpatient health services, senior citizen services, unemployment and other social services, zoning, economic development, and municipal roads. The municipality is governed by a municipal council of elected representatives, which in turn elect a mayor.[10] The municipality falls under the Jæren District Court and the Gulating Court of Appeal.
