History
View of Hustad Church, the main church for Hustad Municipality

The municipality of Hustad was established on 1 July 1918 when the larger Bud Municipality was divided into two separate municipalities: Bud (population: 1,397) in the west and Hustad (population: 2,062) in the east.

During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, there was a merger involving Hustad Municipality (population: 2,196) in the north, Bud Municipality (population: 1,610) in the west, and Fræna Municipality (population: 3,430) in the south, forming a new, larger Fræna Municipality.[1][2]

Government

All municipalities in Norway, including Hustad, are responsible for primary education (through 10th grade), outpatient health services, senior citizen services, unemployment and other social services, zoning, economic development, and municipal roads. The municipality is governed by a municipal council of elected representatives, which in turn elects a mayor.[3]
