==History==
Finds from the [[Stone Age]] indicate that the settlement in the area is up to 6,000–7,000 years old. The village was formerly called ''Angr'' (meaning "[[fjord]]"), but was later named after the rectory farm called "Sandvin". About 400 ancient artefacts and [[Tumulus|Burial mounds]] have been found in several places around Sande. The rock carvings on Sjøl are the only known carving field from the [[Bronze Age]] between [[Bærum]] and [[Sandefjord (town)|Sandefjord]].<ref name="snl" />

The village was the [[administrative centre]] of the old [[Sande Municipality (Vestfold)|Sande Municipality]] which existed from 1838 until 2020 when the municipality became part of [[Holmestrand Municipality]].

===Name===
The municipality (originally the [[prestegjeld|parish]]) is named after the old ''Sande'' farm ({{langx|non|Sandvin}}) since the first [[Sande Church (Vestfold)|Sande Church]] was built there. The first element comes from the word {{wikt-lang|non|sandr}} which means "[[sand]]". The last element comes from the word {{wikt-lang|non|vin}} which means "[[meadow]]" or "[[pasture]]".<ref>{{Cite book |last=Rygh |first=Oluf |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=3YpBAAAAIAAJ |title=Norske gaardnavne: Jarlsberg og Larviks amt |date=1907 |publisher=W.

The medieval era [[Sande Church (Vestfold)|Sande Church]] is located in the village of Sande. The parish is part of the [[Nord-Jarlsberg prosti]]. The building material is stone and brick, and it was built in 1150. In 1783, the church burned down; only the walls remained. Over the next eight years, it was rebuilt, and 1860 the church was refurnished. But the older altarpiece, baptismal font, and pulpit were retained. The pulpit is also from 1783 and features Rococo-style carvings. The font of soapstone is the only medieval inventory preserved.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Sande kirke, Vestfold |url=http://www.kirkesok.no/eng/kirker/Sande-kirke-Vestfold |access-date=2016-10-01 |publisher=Den Norske Kirke}}</ref>
