During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the [[Schei Committee]]. On 1 January 1964, the mainland district surrounding the village of [[Vevang]] (population: 562) was transferred into the neighboring [[Eide Municipality]] and the rest of Kornstad Municipality (population: 1,356) was merged with [[Kvernes Municipality]] (population: 693) and most of [[Bremsnes Municipality]] (population: 3,153) to create the new [[Averøy Municipality]]. |
