General information


The parish of Søndre Odalen was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law). The borders of the municipality have not changed since that time.[5]


Name


The municipality is named after the valley in which it is located. The first element in the name is Sør- which means "south". The last element is the old district name Odalen (Old Norse: Ódalr). The first part of this is ó which is a sideform of the word á which means "river" (here it's referring to the Glåma river). The last part of this is dalr which means "valley" or "dale". The prefix "Sør-" was added when the old Odalen parish was divided in 1819 into Nordre Odalen in the north and Søndre Odalen in the south. Later, spelling reforms changed the names to Nord-Odal and Sør-Odal.[6]


Coat of arms


The coat of arms was granted on 10 January 1992. The arms show three gold keys on a red background. They represent the three parishes of Oppstad, Strøm, and Ullern and the three local bodies of water: Glomma, Oppstadåa, and Storsjøen. The keys symbolize justice, knowledge, and positive ideals. The arms were designed by Harald Hallstensen.[7][8]

Geography


The municipality is a rural area in the Odalen valley that is located along the river Glåma and around the southern side of the lake Storsjøen. It is bordered by the municipalities of Eidskog in the south, by Kongsvinger in the east, and by Nord-Odal and Grue in the north. The terrain is dominated by rolling hills, lakes, and pine forests.


Government


All municipalities in Norway, including Sør-Odal, 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.[9] The municipality falls under the Romerike og Glåmdal District Court and the Eidsivating Court of Appeal.
