History
The municipality of Brattvær was established on 1 January 1915 when the large municipality of Edøy was split into three to form the new municipalities of Edøy, Brattvær, and Hopen. Initially, Brattvær had a population of 973. On 1 January 1960, the 1915 partition was reversed, reuniting the municipalities of Brattvær, Edøy, and Hopen under the new name of Smøla. Before the merger, Brattvær had a population of 1,361.
