Most settlement in the municipality is located along the fjords and in the Romsdalen valley.

The municipality surrounds part of the southern end of Romsdalsfjorden and the Isfjorden and it also includes the Romsdalen valley and Romsdalsalpene mountains. In the lower part of the valleys and around Romsdal Fjord and Rødvenfjorden are driven agriculture with emphasis on livestock. The clothing industry has traditionally been a dominant industry in the municipality, especially in Isfjorden. In the summer, Rauma has a fairly large amount of tourist traffic. The top tourist attractions include mountain climbing/hiking, salmon fishing, Trollstigen, and the historic Rødven Stave Church.[5]

The 1,449-square-kilometre (559 sq mi) municipality is the 61st largest by area out of the 357 municipalities in Norway. Rauma Municipality is the 141st most populous municipality in Norway with a population of 7,299.

Name

The municipality is named after the Rauma River (Template:Langx), which flows through the Romsdalen valley into the Romsdal Fjord. It is uncertain if the fjord is named after the river or the river is named after the fjord. The name Template:Wikt-lang likely comes from the word Script error: No such module "Lang". which has an unknown meaning, or it could come from the word Script error: No such module "Lang". which means "roaring waterfall".[5][10]

Coat of arms

The coat of arms was granted on 4 November 1983. The official blazon is "Azure, three piles issuant from base argent" (Template:Langx). This means the arms have a blue field (background) and the charge is three piles pointing upwards from the base of the shield. The charge has a tincture of argent which means it is commonly colored white, but if it is made out of metal, then silver is used. The design was chosen to represent the sky and three local mountains (Vengetindane, Trolltindane and Romsdalshornet). The arms were designed by Jarle Skuseth. The municipal flag has the same design as the coat of arms.[11][12][13]

Churches

The Church of Norway has six parishes (Script error: No such module "Lang".) within Rauma Municipality. It is part of the Indre Romsdal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Møre.
