General information


On 1 January 2020, the neighboring municipalities of Eide and Fræna were merged to form the new municipality of Hustadvika.[5][6]


Name


The municipality is named after the 19-kilometre (12 mi) long Hustadvika coastline, located in the northern part of the municipality. It is reminiscent of the name for the former municipality, Hustad, which existed from 1918 until its dissolution in 1964.


Coat of arms


The coat of arms was approved in 2019. They were designed by Madelen Behrendt and Øystein Hauge. They are blue with two white interlocking designs representing a fish and a plow. These were chosen to symbolize the two main industries of the municipality: fishing and agriculture.[7]

Geography

The municipality of Hustadvika sits on the northwestern end of the Romsdal Peninsula along the Hustadvika shoreline, just west of the island of Averøya. The Norwegian Sea lies to the north, the Harøyfjorden, Julsundet strait, and Aukra Municipality lie to the west, Molde Municipality and Gjemnes Municipality lie to the south, and Averøy Municipality and the Kornstadfjorden lie to the east.

The Frænfjorden cuts into the middle of the municipality. The coastal areas are low and marshy while the interior of the municipality is mountainous. Two of the more notable mountains are Jendemsfjellet and Heiane. The Bjørnsund islands lie off the northwestern coast. They are now uninhabited, but the Bjørnsund Lighthouse is still in operation. Kvitholmen Lighthouse lies just off the northern coast of the municipality, in an area with hundreds of small islands and skerries.
