==General information==
[[File:Søvik 1.JPG|thumb|left|View of the village of [[Søvik, Haram|Søvik]]]]
The [[prestegjeld|parish]] of ''Harham'' (later spelled ''Haram'') was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see [[formannskapsdistrikt]] law). On 1 January 1890, Haram Municipality was divided into two: the western island district (population: 794) became the new [[Roald Municipality]] and the eastern district (population: 1,956) remained as Haram Municipality.<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 1965, three municipal changes involving Haram occurred, altering the size of the municipality (and ultimately creating a much larger municipality):<ref name="Dag" />
*The part of Haram Municipality on the island of [[Harøya]], including the [[Myklebust, Harøya|Myklebust]] area and the smaller surrounding islands to the west of there (population: 287), was separated from Haram Municipality and merged into the neighboring [[Sandøy Municipality]] to the northeast.
*Most of [[Vatne Municipality]] (population: 2,260) to the southeast of Haram Municipality was merged into Haram Municipality. 
*The [[Søvik, Haram|Søvik]] area in [[Borgund Municipality (Møre og Romsdal)|Borgund Municipality]] (population: 1,191) to the south of Haram Municipality were merged into Haram. 

On 1 January 2020, the Haram Municipality, [[Skodje Municipality]], [[Ørskog Municipality]], [[Sandøy Municipality]], and [[Ålesund Municipality]] were merged to form a new, much larger [[Ålesund Municipality]]. This occurred because in June 2017, the [[Parliament of Norway]] voted to approve the merger.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Om nye Ålesund: Bakgrunn |url=http://nyealesund.no/om-nye-alesund-kommune/bakgrunn |access-date=2017-10-14 |publisher=Nye Ålesund kommune |language=no}}</ref> Soon after the merger, there was discontent among the people who had lived in the old Haram Municipality. After lots of discussions, the municipal council of the new Ålesund Municipality petitioned the government to reverse that part of the merger and to recreate Haram Municipality once again. On 3 October 2022, the [[Parliament of Norway]] approved a law to recreate Haram Municipality effective on 1 January 2024.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-10-03 |title=Forskrift om gjennomføring av deling av Ålesund kommune til Haram kommune og Ålesund kommune |url=https://lovdata.no/dokument/LF/forskrift/2022-10-03-1692 |access-date=2023-04-02 |website=Lovdata.no |language=no}}</ref>

===Name===
The municipality (originally the [[prestegjeld|parish]]) is named after the old ''Haram'' farm ({{langx|non|Harhamarr}}) since the first [[Haram Church]] was built there. The first element is prefix {{lang|non|har-}} which has an unknown meaning. The last element is {{wikt-lang|non|hamarr}} which means "stone" or "steep cliff". Prior to 1889, the name was written ''Harham''.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Rygh |first=Oluf |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=691LAQAAIAAJ |title=Norske gaardnavne: Romsdals amt |date=1908 |publisher=W. C. Fabritius & sønners bogtrikkeri |edition=13 |location=Kristiania, Norge |page=206 |language=no |authorlink=Oluf Rygh}}</ref>

===Coat of arms===
The [[coat of arms]] was granted on 7 August 1987 and it was in use until 2020 when the municipality ceased to exist. The official [[blazon]] is ''"[[Per fess]] [[Engrailed (heraldry)|engrailed]] of three lobes [[argent]] and [[Azure (heraldry)|azure]]"'' ({{langx|no|Delt av sølv og blått med omvend bogesnitt med tre bogar}}). This means the arms have are divided with a horizontal [[line (heraldry)|line]] that is [[engrailed (heraldry)|engrailed]] three times. The [[field (heraldry)|field]] (background) below the line has a [[tincture (heraldry)|tincture]] of [[Azure (heraldry)|azure]]. Above the line, the field has a tincture of [[argent]] which means it is commonly colored white, but if it is made out of metal, then silver is used. The design was chosen to look like three [[wave]]s, symbolizing the importance of the sea in this island municipality. The arms were designed by Eldar Tandstad. The municipal flag has the same design as the coat of arms.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Civic heraldry of Norway - Norske Kommunevåpen |url=https://www.heraldry-wiki.com/heraldrywiki/index.php?title=Haram |access-date=2023-04-02 |publisher=Heraldry of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Haram, Møre og Romsdal |url=https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/no-15-34.html |access-date=2023-04-02 |website=Flags of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=1987-08-07 |title=Godkjenning av våpen og flagg |url=https://lovdata.no/dokument/LFO/forskrift/1987-08-07-663 |access-date=2023-04-02 |website=Lovdata.no |publisher=Norges kommunal- og arbeidsdepartementet |language=no}}</ref>
