History


In 1854, the parish of Øksendal was separated from the large municipality of Sunndal to establish the new municipality of Øksendal. Initially, Øksendal had a population of 1,291. On 1 January 1899, the northern part of the municipality, located on the northern side of the Sunndalsfjorden, (population: 462) was separated to become the new municipality of Ulvundeid. This left Øksendal with 654 inhabitants. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1960, Øksendal Municipality (population: 497) was merged with Ålvundeid Municipality (population: 513) and Sunndal Municipality (population: 5,851) to form a new, larger Sunndal Municipality.[2]


Government


All municipalities in Norway, including Øksendal, 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.[3]
