Dueland or Dualand is a village in Tysvær municipality, Norway. It is located just west of the larger village of Skjoldastraumen.

History

[edit]

It was previously located in Skjold municipality. On 1 January 1965, Skjold municipality was dissolved, and its territory dispersed between three municipalities. The districts surrounding Yrkje, Dueland, and Grinde, with 1,133 inhabitants in total, were moved to Tysvær municipality.[2]

People with the surname Dueland could be people from this farm, but typically people with that last name hail from a different farm called Dueland in Ølen. Several of those residents emigrated to the US, particularly to Nebraska, Illinois and Iowa.[3]
