History & geography

History

Muurame was originally a part of Jämsä. There were also external hunting grounds of Pälkäne in the area. In 1539, there were four farms in Muurame: two of the estates paid taxes to Jämsä, while the other two were taxed from Pälkäne. Korpilahti, including Muurame, was separated from Jämsä in 1861. Muurame was in turn separated from Korpilahti in 1921. Säynätsalo was separated from Muurame ecclesiastically in 1922 and administratively in 1924.
