History

On 1 July 1914, the southern district of the municipality Fillan was separated to form a municipality of its own called Sandstad. The initial population was 947. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, the municipalities of Sandstad, Fillan, Kvenvær, and Hitra were merged to form a new, larger municipality of Hitra. Prior to the merger, the population of Sandstad was 1,028.[2]
