History

On 1 January 1903, the parish of Hålandsdal (historically spelled Haalandsdal) was separated from the municipality of Fusa to form a separate municipality of its own. Initially, Hålandsdal had a population of 647. 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 Strandvik. So, on 1 January 1964, Hålandsdal was merged with Strandvik and most of Fusa, creating a new, larger municipality of Fusa. Prior to the merger, Hålandsdal had a population of 528.[2]
