History
The island was historically part of the old Herdla Municipality. In 1964, it was transferred to the newly established Fjell Municipality. In 2020, it became part of Øygarden Municipality. Since 1982, Solviksundet Bridge has connected Misje to the neighboring island of Sotra, which, in turn, is connected to the mainland by a series of bridges.
