History


The municipality of Kolbu was established on 1 January 1908 when the old Vestre Toten Municipality was divided in three. The southwestern part (population: 1,173) became Eina Municipality, the southeastern part (population: 2,412) became Kolbu Municipality, and the northern part (population: 4,027) continued as Vestre Toten Municipality. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, Kolbu Municipality (population: 2,906) was merged with Østre Toten Municipality (population: 10,661) to form a new, larger Østre Toten Municipality.[3]


Name


The municipality was named after the old Kolbu farm (Old Norse: Kolabú) since this is where the church was located. The first element of the name Kol- means "coal" and the last element bú means "house" or "dwelling".[4][2]


Government


All municipalities in Norway, including Kolbu, 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.[5]
