Grytten
History
Grytten was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law). On 1 January 1840, the northwestern part of Grytten was separated to form the new municipality of Voll og Eid. Then on 1 January 1902, the northeastern part of Grytten was separated to form the new municipality of Hen (population: 1,128), leaving Grytten with a population of 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 Grytten (population: 3,683) was merged with the neighboring municipalities of Eid (population: 381), Voll (population: 1,163), Hen (population: 1,663), and the southern part of Veøy municipality (population: 1,400) to form the new Rauma Municipality.
Name
The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Grytten farm (Old Norse: Grýtin) since the first Grytten Church was built there. The first element is grjót which means "coarse stones" or "rubble". The last element is vin which means "meadow" or "pasture".
Government
While it existed, this municipality was responsible for primary education (through 10th grade), outpatient health services, senior citizen services, unemployment, social services, zoning, economic development, and municipal roads. During its existence, this municipality was governed by a municipal council of directly elected representatives. The mayor was indirectly elected by a vote of the municipal council.
