history

In the Helvetic , the canton of Zurich was divided into five administrative districts, the entire Zurich Oberland was part of the Uster district. The Zurich state constitution of 1814 divided the canton into eleven administrative districts or higher offices. The former rule Grüningen became the Oberamt Grüningen. In 1830, the rural people of the Oberamt Grüningen (as elsewhere in the canton) demanded reforms and demanded full equality between the city and the countryside. At a popular assembly in Uster on November 22nd, demands were made in a memorial. Due to popular pressure, elections to the new Grand Council took place on December 6, 1830.

Only three months later, on March 20, 1831, there was a referendum on the new cantonal constitution, which was approved by an overwhelming majority of those entitled to vote.

With the referendum of March 20, 1831, the upper offices were canceled. The municipalities of the hitherto Oberamt Grüningen formed the new District Hinwil - district capital was Hinwil .
