History
Sørrollnes was originally part of Trondenes municipality, but in 1926 it (and the whole southwestern part of the island of Rolla) became a part of the new Skånland Municipality. The road between the villages of Sørrollnes and Hamnvik was built in the late 1950s. In 1964, Sørrollnes and the surrounding area on the island of Rolla was transferred to Ibestad municipality.[2]
