On [[1 January]] [[1923]], Kinn was split in three, creating the new municipalities of [[Bru, Sogn og Fjordane|Bru]] and [[Eikefjord]]. The split left Kinn with 2,508 inhabitants. On [[1 January]] [[1964]] a merger took place which reunited Kinn with [[Bru, Sogn og Fjordane|Bru]], [[Eikefjord]], and [[Florø]] to form the new municipality [[Flora, Norway|Flora]]. Before the merger Kinn had a population of 3,567. {{coord|61|33|N|4|47|E|display=title|region:NO_type:isle_source:GNS-enwiki}} {{SognFjordane-geo-stub}} [[Category:Former municipalities of Norway]] [[Category:Islands of Sogn og Fjordane]] [[Category:Villages in Sogn og Fjordane]] [[no:Kinn]] [[nn:Kinn]]
