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]

Government

All municipalities in Norway, including Sandeid, 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.[4]
