History
The village was the administrative centre for the old Syvde Municipality which existed from 1918 until 1964 when it was merged into Vanylven Municipality. The main church for the Syvde area is Syvde Church, located in Myklebost, right along the fjord.
The village was historically known as Myklebost, but due to being the centre of the old Syvde Municipality, it has become popularly known as Syvde, which is now the common name for the village area.[3] Statistics Norway referred to the area as Myklebost until 2012 when it no longer qualified as an urban settlement.[1]
