Skjelviki was historically part of the old municipality of Alversund. On 15 October 1923, the western part of Alversund (including Skjelviki) was separated into the new municipality of Meland. On 1 January 1964, the district of Hanevik, then with 193 inhabitants and including the Skjelviki area, was transferred to Askøy municipality.[2]
