==History== [[File:Finnøy av Fearnley.jpg|thumb|right|Drawing of the Finnøy prestegård]] [[File:Finnøy fields.jpg|thumb|right|Fields on Finnøy]] Finnøy was at the top of its power in the middle of the fourteenth century when the King's representative Ogmund Finnsson had his seat at Hesby on the west side of the island of Finnøy. The medieval, stone [[Hesby Church]], dating back to at least the thirteenth century, still stands at Hesby. It is often claimed that the Norwegian mathematician [[Niels Henrik Abel]] (1802–1829) was born on Finnøy, since his father Søren Georg acted as [[Rector (ecclesiastical)|rector]] there. Recent studies indicates, however, that he was born in [[Nedstrand]], a nearby [[parish]]. However, he was raised on Finnøy.
