Kysnesstranda was historically part of the old Strandebarm Municipality. StrandebarmMunicipalityincluded territory on both sides of the Hardangerfjorden. In 1863, the most of Strandebarm Municipality located east of the fjord was separated from Strandebarm to create the new Jondal Municipality; however, the village of Kysnesstranda and the area surrounding it remained a part of Strandebarm Municipality despite its location on the east side of the fjord. On 1 January 1964, when Strandebarm Municipality was merged into the neighboringKvam Municipality, the Kysnesstranda area was merged into Jondal Municipality. Kysnesstranda had 100 inhabitants at that time. Then in 2020, all of Jondal Municipality was merged into Ullensvang Municipality.
