History[]
The municipality of Kvenvær was established on 1 January 1913 when the municipality of Hitra was divided with the western part of the municipality (population: 1,157) becoming the new municipality of Kvenvær. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, the municipalities of Kvenvær (population: 840), Hitra (population: 1,344), Sandstad (population: 1,028), and Fillan (population: 1,759) were merged to form a new, larger municipality of Hitra.[3]
Government[]
All municipalities in Norway, including Kvenvær, 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]
