==History==
Fjærland was originally part of the municipality of Leikanger, but in 1849 it was transferred to the newly created Balestrand municipality. Historically, the only transportation to Fjærland had been by ferry along the Fjærlandsfjorden. In 1986, the Fjærland Tunnel was opened connecting Fjærland to the village of Skei in Jølster municipality to the northwest. In 1994, the Frudal Tunnel was opened to the southeast which connected Fjærland to Sogndalsfjøra in neighboring Sogndal municipality. These tunnels are now the best access from the large district of Norway's west coast toward the capital, Oslo. The completion of the Frudal Tunnel was the main reason why the Fjærland area left Balestrand municipality and merged into the municipality of Sogndal on 1 January 2000.
