Starting in 1838, Lote was administratively a part of the municipality of Gloppen, despite being separated from the rest of Gloppen by the Nordfjorden. On 1 January 1992, the Lote area was transferred to the municipality of Eid (now Stad Municipality). At that time Lote had 158 inhabitants.[4] Lote is still connected to the municipality of Gloppen by a car ferry.
