Fister Church

The municipality of Fister was established on 1 July 1884 when the municipality of Hjelmeland og Fister was divided into two municipalities: Hjelmeland and Fister. Initially, Fister had 832 residents.

During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1965, the municipality of Fister was dissolved. The western part of Fister, known as the Fister islands (Шаблон:Lang), (population: 246) was merged into the municipality of Finnøy. The eastern part of Fister which included part of Randøy island and the mainland part of the municipality (population: 467) was merged with Hjelmeland and Årdal municipalities to form the new, larger municipality of Hjelmeland.

Name

The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Fister farm (Шаблон:Lang-non) since the first Fister Church was built there. The name probably comes from the word Шаблон:Lang which means "windy" or "hardy". It is probably related to the verb Шаблон:Wikt-lang which means "to pass gas".

Government

While it existed, this municipality was responsible for primary education (through 10th grade), outpatient health services, senior citizen services, unemployment, social services, zoning, economic development, and municipal roads. During its existence, this municipality was governed by a municipal council of directly elected representatives. The mayor was indirectly elected by a vote of the municipal council.
