==History==
Måløy was originally founded as a trading center on the small island of Moldøen, or Måløya, on the Ulvesundet strait between Vågsøy island and the mainland. As trade flourished, the town gradually moved to the larger island of Vågsøy, while keeping the name of the smaller island. This is the cause of some confusion, although the smaller island is today often known as "Lisje-Måløyna" (literally ''smaller Måløy'') or "Øyna" (literally ''the island''). During World War II, it was used as a German coastal fortress, which led to the eradication of all settlement on the island to make room for the fortress, and as a result of Operation Archery in December 1941.
Måløy was the administrative centre of the old municipality of Sør-Vågsøy which existed from 1910 until 1964, and it was then made the administrative centre of the new Vågsøy municipality which was created in 1964.
