History

The small municipality of Eid was established on 1 January 1874 when the old municipality of Eid og Voll was divided into Eid Municipality and Voll Municipality. Eid had an initial population of 1,048. 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 Eid (population: 381) was merged with the neighboring municipalities of Voll (population: 1,163), Grytten (population: 3,683), Hen (population: 1,663), and the southern part of Veøy municipality (population: 1,400) to form the new Rauma Municipality.[2][4]

Government

All municipalities in Norway, including Eid, 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.[5]
