Editing Hemne Municipality (section)

==General information==
The [[prestegjeld|parish]] of Hemne was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see [[formannskapsdistrikt]] law). On 1 January 1911, the northern district of the municipality (population: 1,533) was separated from Hemne to form the new [[Heim Municipality (1911-1964)|Heim Municipality]]. This left Hemne Municipality with 3,425 residents. On 1 July 1924, Hemne Municipality was further divided into three: with the eastern district (population: 776) became [[Snillfjord Municipality]], the southern district (population: 716) became [[Vinje Municipality (Sør-Trøndelag)|Vinje Municipality]], and the rest remained as a much smaller Hemne Municipality (population: 2,030).<ref name="Dag">{{Cite web |last=Jukvam |first=Dag |year=1999 |title=Historisk oversikt over endringer i kommune- og fylkesinndelingen |url=http://www.ssb.no/emner/00/90/rapp_9913/rapp_9913.pdf |publisher=[[Statistics Norway|Statistisk sentralbyrå]] |language=no |isbn=9788253746845}}</ref>

During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the [[Schei Committee]]. On 1 January 1964, Hemne Municipality was enlarged when all of [[Vinje Municipality (Sør-Trøndelag)|Vinje Municipality]] (population: 576) and the parts of [[Heim Municipality (1911-1964)|Heim Municipality]] located west of the [[Hemnfjorden]] (population: 711) were both merged into Hemne Municipality.<ref name="Dag" />

On 1 January 2008, the Fossdalen farm (population: 4) was transferred from the neighboring [[Rindal Municipality]] (in [[Møre og Romsdal]] county) to Hemne Municipality (in [[Sør-Trøndelag]] county).<ref>{{Cite web |last=Statistisk sentralbyrå |author-link=Statistics Norway |year=2001 |title=1612 Hemne.

On 1 January 2018, Hemne Municipality switched from the old [[Sør-Trøndelag]] county to the new [[Trøndelag]] county.

On 1 January 2020, Hemne Municipality was dissolved. Its lands were merged with the [[Ytre Snillfjord]] area in the neighboring [[Snillfjord Municipality]] and all of the neighboring [[Halsa Municipality]] to form the new [[Heim Municipality]] (resurrecting an old name for the area).<ref>{{Cite web |title=Ny kommune - Halsa, Snillfjord og Hemne |url=http://www.hemne.kommune.no/35682/4444/35713-63050.html?ChildArea=5082 |access-date=2017-10-05 |language=no}}</ref>

===Name===
The municipality (originally the [[prestegjeld|parish]]) is named after the [[Hemnfjorden]] ({{langx|non|Hefn}}) since flowed through the area. The name is derived from the word {{wikt-lang|non|hǫfn}} which means "[[port]]" or "haven" (referring to the good port of [[Hemnskjel]]).<ref>{{Cite book |last=Rygh |first=Oluf |author-link=Oluf Rygh |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=AGxBAAAAIAAJ |title=Norske gaardnavne: Søndre Trondhjems amt |publisher=W. C. Fabritius & sønners bogtrikkeri |year=1901 |edition=14 |location=Kristiania, Norge |pages=81 |language=no}}</ref> Historically, the name of the municipality was spelled ''Hevne''. On 3 November 1917, a [[royal decree|royal resolution]] changed the spelling of the name of the municipality to ''Hemne''.<ref>{{Cite journal |year=1917 |title=Norsk Lovtidende. 2den Afdeling. 1917.

===Coat of arms===
The [[coat of arms]] was granted on 14 June 1991 and it was in use until 1 January 2020 when the municipality was dissolved. The official [[blazon]] is ''"[[Gules]], five hazelnuts in annulo stems to center conjoined [[Or (heraldry)|Or]]"'' ({{langx|no|I rødt fem gull hasselnøtter forent i rosett}}). This means the arms have a red [[field (heraldry)|field]] (background) and the [[charge (heraldry)|charge]] is five [[Corylus avellana|hazelnuts]] in a circular arrangement with their stems connected in the centre. The hazelnet design has a [[tincture (heraldry)|tincture]] of [[Or (heraldry)|Or]] which means it is commonly colored yellow, but if it is made out of metal, then gold is used. The design symbolizes the relatively large [[hazel]] forests in the municipality, which was historically important to the local economy. The arms were designed by Einar H. Skjervold.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Civic heraldry of Norway - Norske Kommunevåpen |url=https://www.heraldry-wiki.com/heraldrywiki/index.php?title=Hemne |access-date=2023-02-11 |publisher=Heraldry of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Hemne, South Trøndelag (Norway) |url=https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/no-16-12.html |access-date=2023-02-11 |website=Flags of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=1991-06-14 |title=Godkjenning av våpen og flagg |url=https://lovdata.no/dokument/LFO/forskrift/1991-06-14-413 |access-date=2023-02-11 |website=Lovdata.no |publisher=Norges kommunal- og arbeidsdepartementet |language=no}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Hemne kommune, våpen |url=https://foto.digitalarkivet.no/fotoweb/archives/5003-Kommunev%C3%A5pen/Kart%20og%20tegninger%20og%20segl/he10071208070110.tif.info#c=%2Ffotoweb%2Farchives%2F5003-Kommunev%25C3%25A5pen%2F%3Fq%3Dhemne |access-date=2023-02-11 |website=Digitalarkivet |publisher=Arkivverket |language=no}}</ref>
