History

Beginning in 1838, Rovdane was administratively a part of Herøy Municipality (see formannskapsdistrikt law). However, this changed on 1 January 1867 when Herøy Municipality was divided into two and the western part became Sande Municipality, which included the areas on both sides of the Rovdefjorden. In 1905, the new Rovde Municipality was separated from Sande Municipality, with Rovdane as the administrative centre of Rovde Municipality. On 1 January 1964, the district of Rovdestranda (south of the fjord), where Rovdane is located, was transferred to Vanylven Municipality and the rest of Rovde was reunited with Sande Municipality. Rovdestranda had 436 inhabitants at that time.{{Cite web |last=Jukvam |first=Dag |year=1999 |title=Historisk oversikt over endringer i kommune- og fylkesinndelingen |url=http://www.ssb.no/emner/00/90/rapp_9913/rapp_9913.pdf |publisher=Statistisk sentralbyrå |language=no |isbn= 9788253746845 }}
