History


On 1 January 1866, the parish of Straumsnes was separated from Tingvoll Municipality to become a new municipality. The initial population of Straumsnes was 1,222. On 1 January 1868, an uninhabited district of Halsa Municipality was transferred to Straumsnes. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, Straumsnes Municipality (population: 1,160), the part of Frei Municipality on the island of Aspøya (population: 147), and Tingvoll Municipality (population: 3,356) were merged into a new, larger Tingvoll Municipality.[3]


Name


The municipality was named Straumsnes after the peninsula on which it is located. The peninsula is named after the old Strøm farming village, now called Kanestraum.[2]


Government


All municipalities in Norway, including Straumsnes, 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]
