Fjell is a municipality in the county of
Hordaland,
Norway.Fjell was established as a municipality January 1, 1838 (see
formannskapsdistrikt).The municipality consists of several islands west of
Bergen, the major ones being Litle-Sotra,
Sotra (the northern part) Bjorøy and Turøy. Due to the construction of the mainland bridge (Sotrabroen) in
1971 and its proximity to Bergen, the population has grown from less than 7,000 to almost 20,000, and it is presently the Norwegian municipality with the highest growth rate. The result is major traffic jams over the bridge every day. A highway that leads to the town centre of Bergen has reduced the traveling time to only fifteen minutes from the community centre at Straume on Litle-Sotra.
