Tresfjord (village)
The 0.55-square-kilometre (140-acre) village has a population (2012) of 212, giving the village a population density of 385 inhabitants per square kilometre (1,000/sq mi). Since 2017, Tresfjord has not been considered to be an urban settlement by Statistics Norway, therefore separate population statistics have not been tracked since that time.
The village has a Tine dairy and some other small industries. The Tresfjord Church is an octagonal church dating back to 1828 and it has an altarpiece from the 14th century. There is also the Tresfjord Museum, an open-air museum with old houses and equipment from the village.
The European route E136 highway used to run through Tresfjord, but the Tresfjord Bridge opened in 2015 and the highway was re-routed over the bridge, rather than around the shoreline of the fjord, so the highway no longer runs through the village of Tresfjord.
