History


The municipality of Hen was established on 1 January 1902 when the large Grytten Municipality was divided into Hen (population: 1,128) and Grytten (population: 1,728). During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, the municipality of Hen (population: 1,663) was merged with the neighboring municipalities of Eid (population: 381), Grytten (population: 3,683), Voll (population: 1,163), and the southern part of Veøy municipality (population: 1,400) to form the new Rauma Municipality.[1][3]


Government


All municipalities in Norway, including Hen, are responsible for primary education (through 10th grade), outpatient health services, senior citizen services, unemployment and other social services, zoning, economic development, and municipal roads. The municipality is governed by a municipal council of elected representatives, which in turn elects a mayor.[4]
