History
The municipality of Ogna was established in 1839 when it was split off from the (much larger) municipality of Egersund landdistrikt, the rural municipality surrounding the town of Egersund. Initially, there were 825 residents of Ogna. On 1 January 1964, there were many major municipal changes across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On that date the three municipalities of Nærbø, Varhaug, and Ogna were all merged into one large municipality called Hå. Prior to the merger, Ogna municipality had 1,470 residents.
