Dueland[1] is a village in Tysvær Municipality in Rogaland county, Norway. It is located less than 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) west of the larger village of Skjoldastraumen.
History
It was previously located in the old 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.[3]
People with the surname Dueland could be people whose families were originally from this farm, but typically people with that last name hail from a different farm called Dueland in the old Ølen Municipality. Several of those residents emigrated to the United States, particularly to the states of Nebraska, Illinois and Iowa.[4]
