History
The municipality of Gravvik was established on 1 January 1909 when the municipality of Leka was divided in two. The northern island area (population: 1,209) became the new (smaller) municipality of Leka and the southern coastal area (population: 881) became the municipality of Gravvik.
During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, the neighboring municipalities of Kolvereid (population: 2,426), Nærøy (population: 2,182), Gravvik (population: 816), and the western two-thirds of Foldereid were merged to form the new, larger municipality of Nærøy.[2]
