History
The historic parish of Haaland (later spelled Håland) had included churches located in Sola, Tananger, Tjora, and Madla. On 1 January 1838, the parish of Haaland was established as a municipality (see formannskapsdistrikt law). Håland municipality existed until 1930, when it was split to form the two new municipalities of Madla (population: 1,091) and Sola (population: 3,372). Later, Madla was merged with the city of Stavanger and it now makes up the borough of Madla.[2]
