History


In 1841, the western district (population: 1,272) of the old municipality of Holtaalen was split off to form a separate municipality called Singsaas (under the recently passed formannskapsdistrikt law). On 1 January 1875, an unpopulated area of Singsås municipality made up of rural farmland and mountains was transferred to the neighboring municipality of Budal. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, the municipalities of Budal (population: 529), Singsås (population: 1,554), Soknedal (population: 1,916), and Støren (population: 2,296) were all merged to form the new municipality of Midtre Gauldal.[3]


Government


All municipalities in Norway, including Singsås, 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.[4]
