The initial population of the municipality was 850. On 1 January 1965, the three municipalities of Ørskog, Skodje, and Stordal were merged into one large Ørskog Municipality. Prior to the merger, there were 1,052 inhabitants in Stordal. The merger, however, was short-lived, and on 1 January 1977 it was reversed and the three municipalities were once again separated.NameThe Old Norse form of the name was Stóladalr.
