History
The prestegjeld of Faaberg (later spelled Fåberg) was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law). On 1 January 1906, a part of Faaberg (population: 140) that was adjacent to the town of Lillehammer was transferred from Faaberg to the town of Lillehammer. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, Fåberg Municipality (population: 13,381) was merged with the town of Lillehammer (population: 5,905) to form a new Lillehammer Municipality.[2]
Name
The municipality (originally the parish) was named after the old Fåberg farm (Old Norse: Fágaberg) because the first Fåberg Church was built there. The meaning of the first element is unknown. The last element is berg which means "mountain". Prior to 1921, the name was spelled "Faaberg".[3]
Government
All municipalities in Norway, including Fåberg, are responsible for primary education (through 10th grade), outpatient health services, senior citizen services, unemployment and other social services, zoning, economic development, and municipal roads. The municipality was governed by a municipal council of elected representatives, which in turn elected a mayor.[4]
