History
The municipality of Bjørnør was established on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt). On 15 January 1892, the King approved a royal resolution to split up the municipality of Bjørør. It went into effect on 1 June 1892 when Bjørnør ceased to exist, and it was split into three new municipalities: Osen (population: 1,575), Roan (population: 2,069), and Stoksund (population: 1,122).
Name
The municipality (originally the parish) is named Bjørnør after the historic name for the area (Old Norse: Bjarnaurar). The first element plural genitive case of the word bjǫrn which means "bear". The last element is aurr which means "gravel" or "coarse sand".
