Strømm
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Strømm is a former municipality in Vestfold county, Norway.
The parish of Hurum had to be divided into two formannskapsdistrikt January 1, 1838 - this because the main part of the parish belonged to the county of Buskerud, while the annex Strømm belonged to the county of Vestfold. (The border between the two counties followed the fjord of Drammensfjord.)
The town of Svelvik was separated from Strømm as a municipality of its own in 1845 - but these two municipalities were again merged to one January 1, 1964.
Strømm had a population of 794 in 1838. Prior to the merger of 1964 Strømm had a population of 2,618.
