History

Originally (since 1838) the municipality was a part of the municipality of Hemne (see formannskapsdistrikt law). On 1 January 1911, the large municipality of Hemne was divided into two: Hemne (population: 3,425) in the south and Heim (population: 1,533) in the north. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, Heim ceased to exist as a municipality. The district of Vestre Heim (Western Heim, the area west of the Hemnefjord) with its 711 inhabitants was merged with the neighboring municipalities of Hemne and Vinje to form a new, larger Hemne municipality. At the same time, the district of Austre Heim (Eastern Heim, the area east of the Hemnfjorden) with its 724 residents was merged with the neighboring municipality of Snillfjord and part of the municipality of Agdenes to become a new, larger municipality of Snillfjord.[3]

Name

The parish of Heim was established in 1884. It is named after the old Heim farm (Old Norse: Heimr), since the Heim Church is built on its ground. The name is identical with the word heimr which means "home", "homestead", or "farm".[4]

Government

All municipalities in Norway, including Heim, 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]
