Bjørnskinn

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bjørnskinn is a former municipality in Nordland county, Norway.

It was created on January 1, 1924 when the municipality Andøya was split in three, creating the new municipalities Bjørnskinn (to the south), Dverberg (in the middle) and Andenes (to the north). At this point Bjørnskinn had a population of 1.410.

On January 1, 1964 the three municipalities were reunited to form the new municipality Andøy. Before the merger Bjørnskinn had 1.835 inhabitants.
