Hovin, Telemark

Hovin, Telemark

Hovin is a former municipality in Telemark county, Norway.

It was created on 1 January 1886 by a split from Gransherad. Gransherad, which consisted of the parishes Hovin and Gransherad, had already been formed as a border adjustment between Tinn and Hjartdal in 1860. Hovin parish had 815 inhabitants in 1860, and the new municipality had a population of 885 in 1886. On 24 March 1903 an uninhabited part of Tinn was moved to Hovin by royal resolution.

On 1 January 1964 the district of Rudsgrendi with 21 inhabitants was incorporated into Notodden municipality to the east. The rest of Hovin, with 461 inhabitants, was incorporated into Tinn.
