History
The old (large) parish of Bjelland was divided on 1 January 1838 into two municipalities: Aaseral in the north and Bjelland og Grindum in the south (see formannskapsdistrikt law). Bjelland og Grindum had a population of 1,662 in 1835, just before the split.[3]
On 1 January 1902, the municipality of Bjelland og Grindum was dissolved and its land was split into two new municipalities: Bjelland (population: 907) and Grindheim (population: 909). These municipalities later became parts of Audnedal and Marnardal.[4]
