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. ==The name== The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old farm Hovin (Old Norse ''Hofvin''), since the first church was built there. The first element is ''hof'', Norse meaning a "temple (for the Norse gods)," and the last element is ''vin'' f 'meadow'. There are several buildings from Hovin at the Norwegian Folklore Museum in Oslo. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hovin, Telemark」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
