Bremsnes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bremsnes is a former municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway.

It was created by a split from Kvernes on January 1, 1897. At that time Bremsnes had a population of 2,917. On 8 July 1903 an uninhabited district of Bremsnes was moved back to Kvernes.

On 1 January 1964 the districts of Bolga and Valen with 884 inhabitants became a part of Frei whereas the district Dale with 963 inhabitants was incorporated into Kristiansund. The rest of Bremsnes, with 3,153 inhabitants, was merged with Kvernes and the majority of Kornstad to create the new municipality Averøy.

The village Bremsnes is located on northeastern Averøya.
