Syn og Segn was founded in 1894, and Rasmus Flo and Arne Garborg were the first editors.[1] The magazine is published in Nynorsk quarterly[2] by Det Norske Samlaget, and has been important for the development of the Nynorsk as a cultural language. Olav Midttun was the editor-in-chief for over fifty years, from 1908 to 1960. Fagernes-based Knut Aastad Bråten has edited the magazine since 2014; succeeding Bente Riise who had served in the post since 2006.

In 2010 the magazine was named "Periodical of the Year" in Norway by the Norwegian Association of Journals.[4]
