History
The municipality was created in 1859 when the municipality of Jelsa was split in two. Initially, Sand had 1,600 inhabitants. On 1 January 1965, the municipality of Sand was dissolved due to the recommendations of the Schei Committee. Sand was incorporated into the neighboring municipality of Suldal along with Erfjord and parts of Imsland and Jelsa municipalities. Prior to the merger, Sand had 1,135 inhabitants.[3]
Government
All municipalities in Norway, including Sand, 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]
