The municipality of Tysvær was established in 1849 when the large Skjold Municipality was divided. The southern part (population: 2,058) became the new Tysvær Municipality and the northern part (population: 3,439) remained as a smaller Skjold Municipality.[7]

During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1965, the following areas were merged into a newly enlarged Tysvær Municipality:[7]

On 1 January 1969, the small Sponevik farm area (population: 6), just north of the village of Skjoldastraumen, was transferred from the neighboring Vindafjord Municipality to Tysvær Municipality.[7]

Name

The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Tysvær farm (Old Norse: Teitsfjörðr) since the first Tysvær Church was built there. The first element is the genitive case of the old male name Teitr. The last element is fjörðr which means "fjord". Over time, the last element was corrupted to vær which means "fishing village", but that was not the meaning of the original name.[8]

Coat of arms

The coat of arms was granted on 3 February 1984. The official blazon is "Azure, a heron argent issuant" (Norwegian: På blå grunn ein oppveksande sølv hegre). This means the arms have a blue field (background) and the charge is the top of a grey heron. The heron has a tincture of argent which means it is commonly colored white, but if it is made out of metal, then silver is used. The heron was chosen as a symbol for the municipality since there are several large colonies of grey herons in the municipality. "Tysvær herons" is a nickname for the inhabitants of the municipality. The arms were designed by Stein Davidsen. The municipal flag has the same design as the coat of arms.[9][10][11]
