context_page_description: Hustad is a former municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. Hustad existed as a municipality from 1918 until its dissolution in 1964 when it was merged into Fræna Municipality. The 125-square-kilometre municipality encompassed most of the northern part of the Romsdal Peninsula in what is now Hustadvika Municipality. The administrative centre of the municipality was the village of Hustad where Hustad Church is located.
context_section_description: The municipality of Hustad was established on 1 July 1918 when the larger Bud Municipality was divided into two separate municipalities: Bud (population: 1,397) in the west and Hustad (population: 2,062) in the east.
  During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, there was a merger involving Hustad Municipality (population: 2,196) in the north, Bud Municipality (population: 1,610) in the west, and Fræna Municipality (population: 3,430) in the south, forming a new, larger Fræna Municipality.
