The parish of Solliden (population: 386) was established as a municipality on 1 January 1864 when it was separated from Ringebu Municipality. The new municipality was originally part of Kristians amt (county) when it was established. On 1 January 1891, the municipality of Solliden was transferred to the neighboring county: Hedemarkens amt. An uninhabited part of Ringebu was moved to Solliden on 1 January 1899. On 18 November 1921, the name of the municipality was officially changed from Solliden to Sollia. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1965, Sollia (population: 356) was merged into the neighboring municipality of Stor-Elvdal (population: 3,808).[1][2]
The municipal council (Herredsstyre) of Sollia was made up of representatives that were elected to four year terms. The party breakdown of the final municipal council was as follows:
