History
The municipality of Skaare (later, the spelling was changed to Skåre) was created on 1 November 1881 when it was split off from the municipality of Torvastad. The new municipality had a population of 1,665. On 1 January 1911, a part of Skåre (population: 3,847) bordering the neighboring town of Haugesund was transferred to Haugesund. On 1 January 1958, the rest of Skåre (population: 6,772) was merged with the town of Haugesund, creating a much larger Haugesund Municipality.[3]
Government
All municipalities in Norway, including Skåre, 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]
