==History== Since 1838, Eiksund was administratively a part of Sande Municipality, despite being separated from the rest of Sande by the sea (see formannskapsdistrikt law). On 1 January 1889, the Eiksund area and the island of Eika (population: 119) were transferred to Herøy Municipality. Then on 1 January 1964, Eiksund and Eika (population: 222) were transferred to Ulstein Municipality.
