As Radøy was historically divided amongst several municipalities, Sletta was a part of
Lindås Municipality until 1964. Since Sletta lies on a different side of the
Lurefjorden than the rest of Lindås, the easiest transport was by boat. It was even better than walking over the hills to
Manger and the rest of Radøy. The people at Sletta actually felt more in common with the people on the other side of the fjord. As the car became an important travel method, it became easier to get to the village of
Manger. In 1964, almost all of the island of Radøy was merged into
Radøy Municipality including Sletta. ==Culture==
