Location

Kolvereid is located in the middle of Nærøy. The area has grown considerably over the past 30 years, and today it is the centre of the district, with a well-developed trade and service industry. Kolvereid is home to the municipality's culture centre, comprising a stage and a cinema, a fantastic sports hall as well as outdoor sports facilities.

With a population approaching 2,000, Kolvereid is the second smallest town in Norway. Kolvereid was established as a municipality January 1, 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt). Two other municipalities were later separated from it: Leka (1860) and Foldereid (1886). The rest of Kolvereid was merged with Nærøy January 1, 1964.
