It is also located about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) south of the village of Dingja (and the lake Dingevatnet), about 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) northwest of the village of Dalsøyra, and about 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) northeast of the village of Byrknes.
Eivindvik is the commercial centre of the municipality as well as the seat of government for the municipality. Gulen Church has been located in Eivindvik for centuries. The 0.4-square-kilometre (99-acre) village has a population (2025) of 336 and a population density of 840 inhabitants per square kilometre (2,200/sq mi).[1]
History
This area has an ancient history, since the Gulating met in this area in the years 900—1300, creating laws which governed most of Western Norway.[4]
Name
Gulen Municipality was originally named after this village (Evindvig Municipality). There have been many spelling variations throughout the past few centuries: Evindvig, Evenvig, or Evenvik. The name of the municipality was officially changed to Gulen Municipality on 1 July 1890, but the village name remained as Eivindvik (using the modern Norwegian spelling).
