Os is a municipality in Hordaland county, Norway. It is located in the Midhordland region, just south of Norway's second-largest city, Bergen. Due to its proximity to Bergen, Os is experiencing strong population growth. The administrative centre (and commercial centre) of Os is the village of Osøyro. It is the largest settlement in the municipality, with over 60% of the municipal residents living here. Other large villages in Os include Hagavik, Halhjem, Søfteland, Søre Øyane, and Søvik.HistoryThe parish of Os was established as a formannskapsdistrikt, the predecessor of today's municipalities, on 1 January 1838. It originally encompassed all of the land surrounding the Fusafjorden. In 1856, the eastern district of Os (across the fjord) was separated to form the new, separate municipality of Fusa. This left Os with 3,750 residents.In 1900 "Askviknes Barnehjem" (near Hagavik) opened; it housed children of romani/tater; in the beginning the children's stay was something their families applied for; later children were introduced to the facility without consent of their families.
