==Højer Municipality==
The former Højer Municipality covered an area of 117 km<sup>2</sup>, and had a total population of 2,861 (2005). Its last mayor was Peter Christensen, a member of the Social Democrats (''Socialdemokraterne'') political party.
The coastal area of the former municipality is a nature reserve.
The municipality was created in 1970 due to a {{lang|da|kommunalreform}} ("Municipality Reform") that combined a number of existing parishes: * Daler Parish * Emmerlev Parish * Hjerpsted Parish * Højer Parish
On 1 January 2007 Højer municipality ceased to exist due to ''Kommunalreformen'' ("The Municipality Reform" of 2007). It was merged with Bredebro, Løgumkloster, Nørre-Rangstrup, Skærbæk, and Tønder municipalities to form the new Tønder Municipality. This created a municipality with an area of 1,352 km<sup>2</sup> and a total population of 42,645 (2005). <!-- ==The town of Højer == --> <!--{{main|Højer}} --> <!-- ===History=== --> <!-- ==Attractions== --> <!-- ==Famous residents of the municipality== -->
