Strandvik is a former municipality in the old Hordaland county, Norway. It existed from 1903 until its dissolution in 1964. The 143-square-kilometre (55 sq mi) municipality encompassed the southern part of present-day Bjørnafjorden Municipality in Vestland county. It included the inner part of the Bjørnafjorden. The administrative centre of the municipality was the village of Strandvik where the Strandvik Church is located.[2]

History

On 1 January 1903, the parish of Strandvik was separated from the municipality of Fusa to form a separate municipality of its own. Initially, Strandvik had a population of 1,876. It was a small municipality and so in the early 1960s, the Schei Committee recommended that it be merged with two of its neighbors: Fusa and Hålandsdal. So, on 1 January 1964, Strandvik was merged with Hålandsdal and most of Fusa, creating a new, larger municipality of Fusa. Prior to the merger, Strandvik had a population of 2,053.[3]

Name

The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old name for the coastal area, Strandvik (Old Norse: Strandvík) since the first Strandvik Church was built there. The first element comes from the genitive case of strǫnd which means "beach" or "shore". The last element comes from the word vík which means "bay" or "inlet".[4]

Government

During its existence, this municipality was governed by a municipal council of directly elected representatives. The mayor was indirectly elected by a vote of the municipal council.[5]
