History

The municipality was created on 1 January 1923 when the old municipality of Vikedal was split into three. Initially, Sandeid had a population of 558. On 1 January 1965 Sandeid municipality was dissolved based on recommendations from the Schei Committee. It was merged with parts of the neighboring municipalities of Imsland, Vikedal, Vats, and Skjold to form the new municipality of Vindafjord. Prior to the merger, Sandeid had a population of 876.[3]
