Historically, the island was part of the old municipality of Herdla. In 1964, it was transferred to the newly established municipality of Fjell (and then part of Øygarden since 2020). The island has been connected to the neighboring island of Sotra by the Solviksundet Bridge since 1982. Sotra, in turn, is connected to the mainland by a series of bridges.
