History

The municipality of Sør-Aukra was established on 1 January 1924 when the old Aukra Municipality was divided into Sør-Aukra (in the south) and Nord-Aukra (in the north). Initially, Sør-Aukra Municipality had a population of 1,395. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1965, Sør-Aukra was merged with the island of Dryna and the rest of the island of Midøya, both from Vatne Municipality, to form the new Midsund Municipality. Prior to the merger, Sør-Aukra had a population of 1,912. At the same time, Nord-Aukra changed its name back to Aukra.[2]

Government

All municipalities in Norway, including Sør-Aukra, are responsible for primary education (through 10th grade), outpatient health services, senior citizen services, unemployment and other social services, zoning, economic development, and municipal roads. The municipality is governed by a municipal council of elected representatives, which in turn elects a mayor.[3]
