Hof is a parish located in the municipality of Åsnes in Hedmark county, Norway.
Hof was a former independent municipality. The parish of Hof (Hof prestegjeld) consisted previously of the three existing sub-parishes Hof, Hof Finnskog and Arneberg. The parish was established as a municipality January 1, 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt). Åsnes og Våler was separated from Hof to constitute a separate municipality in 1849. The split left Hof with a population of 2,913. On 1 January 1963 Hof was incorporated into the municipality of Åsnes. Prior to the merger Hof had a population of 3,222. On 1 January 1969 the district Rotberget, which was a part of Hof until 1963, was moved to Grue municipality.
Hof is located in the traditional district of Solør. Hof is bordered by Grue in the south, Asnes in the north, Våler, Nord-Odal and Stange in the west and Sweden in the east.
The name
The municipality (originally the parish) was named after the old farm Hof (Norse Hof), since the first church was built on its ground. The name is identical with the word hof, "temple" (for the Norse gods).
