The municipality of Foldereid was established on 1 October 1886 when it was separated from the large municipality of Kolvereid. Initially, the new municipality had 948 residents. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, the municipality of Foldereid was dissolved. The eastern Kongsmoen area (population: 221) was merged into the neighboring municipality of Høylandet and the remainder of the municipality (population: 817) was merged into the neighboring municipality of Nærøy.[3]
All municipalities in Norway, including Foldereid, 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]
The municipal council (Herredsstyre) of Foldereid was made up of 13 representatives that were elected to four year terms. The party breakdown of the final municipal council was as follows:
