Madla is a former municipality in Rogaland county, Norway. The 15.75-square-kilometre (6.08 sq mi) municipality existed from 1930 until 1965 when it was merged into Stavanger Municipality. The small municipality now exists as the borough of Madla inside the city of Stavanger, on the northeast side of the Hafrsfjorden. It was one of the smallest municipalities in Rogaland county, with only four farms: Malde (now spelled Madla), Revheim, and North- and South-Sunde. The municipal centre was located at Malde, now known as Madlamark.[3]
