Flosta is a former municipality in the old Aust-Agder county in Norway. The municipality existed from 1902 until its dissolution in 1962. It is currently part of the municipality of Arendal in Agder county. The administrative center of Flosta was at Staubø in the village of Kilsund. The municipality primarily encompassed the two islands of Flostaøya and Tverrdalsøya and about on the mainland just north of the islands including the villages of Eikeland, Borås, and Vatnebu.
==History== The municipality of Dybvaag was established on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law), and this municipality included all of what would later become Flosta municipality. On 1 January 1902, the new municipality of Flosta was established when the islands of Flostaøya and Tverrdalsøya and some of the mainland north of those islands (population: 1,892) separated from the municipality of Dybvaag.
