General Information
Since ancient times, Hornindal was a sub-parish (sokn) of the Eid parish (prestegjeld). In 1865, Hornindal became a parish of its own and then two years later, on 1 January 1867, Hornindal was established as a separate municipality (see formannskapsdistrikt). At this time, Hornindal had a population of 1,612.
On 1 January 1965, the municipality was dissolved and it was divided between the neighboring municipalities of Eid and Stryn. The 310 residents living in Navelsaker and Holmøyvik and all of Hornindal west of there went to Eid, and the 1,184 residents to the east of those areas went to Stryn.
On 1 January 1977, the municipality of Hornindal was separated from Stryn. The portions of Hornindal that were moved to Eid in 1964 remained there. The new municipality had a population of 1,202.
