Other villages in Aure include Gullstein, Stemshaug, Todalen, Tjeldbergodden, Arasvika, and Tømmervåg.

Then on 1 July 1914, the northeastern district of Aure (population: 851) was separated to form the new municipality of Stemshaug.

On 1 January 1976, the district of Aure located south of the Vinjefjorden (population: 158) was merged into the neighboring Halsa Municipality.

The official blazon is "Gules, two addorsed eagle heads erased Or" (Norwegian: I rødt to adosserte gull ørnehoder).

This means the arms have a red field (background) and the charge is two heads of a sea eagle facing opposite directions.

This means the arms have a blue field (background) and the charge is a klippfisk which is a split and salted dried fish, usually cod.

Traditionally, the fish was spread out on a rock to sun dry which gives the klippfisk its symmetrical shape (as opposed to the stockfish).

The charge has a tincture of argent which means it is commonly colored white, but if it is made out of metal, then silver is used.

Islands of Aure include Ertvågsøya, Grisvågøya, Rottøya, Ruøya, Skardsøya, Solskjelsøya, Stabblandet, and Tustna.

A liquefied natural gas (LNG) pipeline from the Heidrun oil field terminates here.
