The original Selje municipality was created in 1838 and was identical to the historic Selje prestegjeld with the sub-parishes (sokn) of Hove and Vågsøy. On 1 January 1910, the southwestern district of Vågsøy was separated from Selje to form two new municipalities: Nord-Vågsøy and Sør-Vågsøy. The sub-parish of Hove was renamed Selje at the same time. On 1 January 1964, the municipalities of Nord-Vågsøy and Sør-Vågsøy as well as a small part of southern Selje municipality were merged to form the new Vågsøy Municipality. In 1970, a new sub-parish called Ervik was created. In 1997, the chapel at Leikanger became a new sub-parish. On 1 January 2020, Selje was dissolved as a municipality and it was merged with the neighboring municipality of Eid and the Bryggja-Totland area of Vågsøy and they formed the new Stad Municipality.
