Skjold, Rogaland

Skjold is a former municipality in Rogaland county, Norway. It was created as Skjold formannskapsdistrikt in 1837. The district Tysvær was separated from Skjold in 1849 to constitute a municipality of its own, and the same thing happened to Vats in 1891. The divisions left Skjold with a population of 1.961. On 1 January 1964 the districts of Liarheim and Langeland with 1.262 inhabitants were merged with Sandeid and parts of Imsland and Vats to create the new municipality Vindafjord.
