General information
The parish of Os was historically part of Tolga Municipality. On 1 July 1926 the parish of Os (population: 1,936) was separated from Tolga to become a separate municipality. In 1927, a small area of Tolga (population: 18) was transferred to the municipality of Os. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1966, the municipality of Os (population: 2,015) was merged with the municipality of Tolga (population: 1,944) to form the new municipality of Tolga-Os. This arrangement was not well-liked by the local residents so after a few years, the municipalities began to ask to undo the merger. On 1 January 1976, the merger was reversed and the municipalities of Os (population: 1,859) and Tolga (population: 1,865) were re-established using their old boundaries.[6]
Name
The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Os farm (Old Norse: Óss), since the first Os Church was built here in 1703. The name is identical with the word óss which means "mouth of a river" (here it is referring to the Vangrøfta river running out into the Glomma river).[3][7]
Coat of arms
The coat of arms was granted on 17 December 1992. The arms show three gold cowbells on a green background. It symbolizes the traditional and modern businesses in the municipality.[3]
Churches
The Church of Norway has three parishes (sokn) within the municipality of Os. It is part of the Nord-Østerdal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Hamar.
| Parish (sokn) | Church name | Location of the church | Year built |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dalsbygda | Dalsbygda Church | Dalsbygda | 1960 |
| Narbuvoll | Narbuvoll Church | Narbuvoll | 1862 |
| Tufsingdalen Church | Tufsingdal | 1920 | |
| Os | Os Church | Os i Østerdalen | 1862 |
Government
All municipalities in Norway, including Os, 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 is governed by a municipal council of elected representatives, which in turn elects a mayor.[8] The municipality falls under the Østre Innlandet District Court and the Eidsivating Court of Appeal.
