In 1963 when it was dissolved, the municipality encompassed 422 square kilometres (163 sq mi).

Historically, the prestegjeld of Hof included the main parish plus the sub-parishes of Åsnes and Våler.

During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee.

On 1 January 1969 the Rotberget area (population: 23), which had been a part of Hof until the 1963 merger, was transferred to the neighboring Grue municipality.

[5] The municipal council (Herredsstyre) of Hof was made up of 19 representatives that were elected to four year terms.
