Salm

Salm was a county around Salm Castle in the Vosges, later known as Upper Salm. In 1337 it was ruled by Count Henry VI of the House of Salm.

Salm-Badenweiler split off in 1431. In 1475 half of Upper Salm passed to the Wild- and Rhinegraves, while the other half fell to Lorraine in 1600. The former became princes in 1623 and formed Salm-Salm in 1751; French Revolutionary forces annexed their Vosges lands in 1793.
