Ørmen formerly belonged to the municipality of Onsøy.[3] This changed when the municipalities of Frederikstad, Kråkerøy, Onsøy, Rolvsøy og Borge, in Østfold merged on 1 January 1994. The new merged municipality was named Frederikstad.[4]

The village is mentioned in David Bowie's song "Blackstar."[5]
