History
Muurame was originally a part of the Jämsä parish. There were also external hunting grounds of Pälkäne in the area.[9] In 1539, there were four farms in Muurame: two of the estates paid taxes to Jämsä, while the other two were taxed from Pälkäne.[10]
Korpilahti, including Muurame, was separated from Jämsä in 1861.[11] Muurame was in turn separated from Korpilahti in 1921.[12] Säynätsalo was separated from Muurame ecclesiastically in 1922[13] and administratively in 1924.[14]
