  The 289-square-kilometre municipality is the 270th largest by area out of the 356 municipalities in Norway. Dyrøy is the 329th most populous municipality in Norway with a population of 1,083. The municipality's population density is 3.9 inhabitants per square kilometre and its population has decreased by 12.2% over the last decade.
  The municipality is named after the island of Dyrøya, which is connected with the mainland with the modern Dyrøy Bridge. Most people, however, don't live on the island, but live in Brøstadbotn on the mainland.
context_section_description: The municipality of Dyrøy was established on 1 September 1886, when it was separated from the municipality of Tranøy.  The initial population of Dyrøy was 1,281. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee.  On 1 January 1964, the parts of Tranøy Municipality located on the mainland (population: 382) were transferred to Dyrøy.
  On 1 January 2020, the municipality became part of the newly formed Troms og Finnmark county. Previously, it had been part of the old Troms county.
