History
Kolvereid Church

The municipality of Kolvereid was established on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt). In 1860, the northern islands and coastal area of Kolvereid (population: 1,702) was separated to become the new municipality of Leka. Then on 1 October 1886, the northeastern part of the municipality (population: 948) surrounding the innermost parts of the Foldafjord was separated to become the new municipality of Foldereid. This left Kolvereid with 1,716 residents. On 1 January 1902, an unpopulated part of Kolvereid was transferred to the neighboring municipality of Nærøy.

During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, the municipality of Kolvereid (population: 2,426) was merged with the neighboring municipalities of Nærøy (population: 2,182), Gravvik (population: 816), and the western two-thirds of Foldereid to form the new, larger municipality of Nærøy.[2]

Government

All municipalities in Norway, including Kolvereid, 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.[3]
