Radøy
Prior to its dissolution in 2020, the 111 km2 municipality is the 372nd largest by area out of the 422 municipalities in Norway. Radøy is the 199th most populous municipality in Norway with a population of 5,128. The municipality's population density is 48 PD/km2 and its population has increased by 10.1% over the last decade.
During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. Radøy was created as a new municipality on 1 January 1964. The new municipality was constructed from parts of several different municipalities:
* all of the municipality of Manger (population: 1,344)
* all of the municipality of Hordabø (population: 1,679)
* the island of Bognøy from Herdla municipality (population: 29)
* most of the municipality of Sæbø, 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)
On 1 January 2020, the neighboring municipalities of Meland, Radøy, and Lindås were merged into a large, new municipality called Alver.

Flag of Norway |
Norway has a total area of 385,207 km2 and had a population of 5,425,270 in January 2022. The country shares a long eastern border with Sweden at a length of 1,619 km. It is bordered by Finland and Russia to the northeast and the Skagerrak strait to the south, on the other side of which are Denmark and the United Kingdom. Norway has an extensive coastline, facing the North Atlantic Ocean and the Barents Sea. The maritime influence dominates Norway's climate, with mild lowland temperatures on the sea coasts; the interior, while colder, is also significantly milder than areas elsewhere in the world on such northerly latitudes. Even during polar night in the north, temperatures above freezing are commonplace on the coastline. The maritime influence brings high rainfall and snowfall to some areas of the country.
