History

"Lavik og Brekke" was established as a municipality in 1861 as a merger between the municipalities of Lavik and Brekke, which were located on the northern and southern shores of the Sognefjord respectively. Before the merger Lavik had 926 inhabitants and Brekke 898, giving the new municipality a population of 1,824. On 1 January 1875, a part of Klævold with 90 inhabitants was moved to "Lavik og Brekke".

On 1 January 1905, the municipality was split, leaving Lavik and Brekke as separate municipalities once again. Before the split "Lavik og Brekke" had a population of 2,164. Both Lavik and Brekke were later incorporated into other municipalities.cite web|first=Dag|last=Jukvam|publisher=Statistisk sentralbyrå|title=Historisk oversikt over endringer i kommune- og fylkesinndelingen|date=1999|url=http://www.ssb.no/emner/00/90/rapp_9913/rapp_9913.pdf no icon]
