Linje 199:
:It says that there were 66 before the municipal reduction in 1950, but not what the number was in 1908 or at various points in between. 66 is almost certainly a post-war number.--[[Bruger:Batmacumba|Batmacumba]] ([[Brugerdiskussion:Batmacumba|diskussion]]) 27. jul 2016, 16:52 (CEST)
Thank you very much, all very interesting. I have to work through it slowly, get it translated piece by piece. The article [[Grønlands Landsråd]] says, as far as I understand it, that the administrative bodies for North Greenland (Upernavik to Egedesminde) and South Greenland (Holsteensborg to Julianshaab) were created in 1908 (with a reform in 1925 when the administrator was called ''Landsfoged''). But are those not the same as the subdivision into ''North Inspectorate'' and ''South Inspectorate'', as mentioned in [https://archive.org/stream/polarworldapopu02hartgoog#page/n498/mode/2up this English-language book] for as early as 1855?
:The north/south division of the Greenlandic west coast is fairly old dating back to 18th century practices, but not sure when it was formalized. The inspectorates were called Nordre Inspektorat and Søndre Inspektorat.--[[Bruger:Batmacumba|Batmacumba]] ([[Brugerdiskussion:Batmacumba|diskussion]]) 28. jul 2016, 11:27 (CEST)
What were the original Danish terms for ''North Inspectorate'' and ''South Inspectorate''? Interestingly, this book gives rudimentary population statistics for 1855:
South Inspectorate: 6128 ''Esquimaux'', 120 Europeans
North Inspectorate: 3516 ''Esquimaux'', 128 Europeans
