History

Grums has historically served as the parish seat (Swedish: kyrkby) of Grums Parish. Following the municipal reform of 1862, it became part of Grums rural municipality. A municipal community (Swedish: municipalsamhälle) was established in the locality on 26 May 1939. In 1948, the rural municipality, including the municipal community, was reorganized into market town (Swedish: Grums köping). However, the built-up area of Grums only covered a small portion of the new köping. In 1971, Grums köping was incorporated into the newly formed Grums Municipality, with Grums as its administrative center.^[2]

Until 1882, the locality was part of the Grums judicial district (Swedish: tingslag), and from 1882 to 1971, it belonged to the Mellansysslet judicial district. Between 1971 and 2005, it was included in the Karlstad judicial district (Swedish: domsaga), and since 2005, it has been part of the Värmland judicial district.^[3]
