History

Flatkvål was administratively a part of Voss Municipality starting in 1838. On 1 January 1885 the northeastern half of the Eksingedalen valley was separated from Voss Municipality to form the new Evanger Municipality (this included Flatkvål). On 1 January 1964, all of the Bergsdalen and Eksingedalen valleys with 251 inhabitants combined were merged with most of Bruvik Municipality and a part of Modalen Municipality to create the new Vaksdal Municipality. The village of Flatkvål has been part of Vaksdal Municipality since that time.
