History
On 1 July 1924, the old Manger Municipality was split into three separate municipalities: Bø in the northern part, (a much smaller) Manger in the central part, and Sæbø in the southern part. The municipality, which was known as Bø at that time, had a population of 1,938. On 13 March 1925 the name was changed by royal resolution from Bø to Hordabø.[2]
During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, the municipality was dissolved and a merged with the following places to form the new Radøy Municipality.[2]
- all Hordabø Municipality (population: 1,679)
- all Manger Municipality (population: 1,344)
- the island of Bognøy from Herdla Municipality (population: 29)
- most of Sæbø Municipality, except the Titland area on the Lindås peninsula (population: 916)
- the Sletta area on the island of Radøy from Lindås Municipality (population: 305)
- the Straume area on the island of Radøy and the small island of Fesøy from Austrheim Municipality (population: 56)
Name
The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Bø farm (Template:Langx) since the first Bø Church was built there. The name comes from the word Template:Wikt-lang which means "farm" or "farmhouse".[3] Historically, the name of the municipality was Bø. On 13 March 1925, a royal resolution changed the name of the municipality to Hordabø. The prefix Script error: No such module "Lang". was added to distinguish this "Bø" from several other municipalities with the same name. The prefix comes from the word Template:Wikt-lang which is the Old Norse name for the people from Hordaland.[4]
