The municipality of Ulvundeidet was established on 1 January 1899 when it was split off from Øksendal Municipality. The new municipality had an initial population of 462, making it one of the smallest municipalities in the county. The name was later changed to Ålvundeid Municipality.[4]

During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1960, Ålvundeid Municipality (population: 513) was merged with Øksendal Municipality (population: 497) and Sunndal Municipality (population: 5,851) to form a new, larger Sunndal Municipality.[4]

Name

The municipality is named after the old Ålvund farm (Template:Langx) and the isthmus on which it is located. The first element comes from the word Template:Wikt-lang which used to mean "gravel" or "gravelly ground". The last element is Template:Wikt-lang which means "isthmus", since the old farm was located on a small isthmus between the Sunndalsfjorden and the Ålvundfjorden.[5] Historically, the name of the municipality was spelled Ulvundeidet. On 3 November 1917, a royal resolution changed the spelling of the name of the municipality to Aalvundeid.[6] On 21 December 1917, a royal resolution enacted the 1917 Norwegian language reforms. Prior to this change, the name was spelled Aalvundeid with the digraph "Aa", and after this reform, the name was spelled Ålvundeid, using the letter Å instead.[7][8]
