General information


Tolga Church
Tolga Church

The parish of Tolgen was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law). On 1 January 1911, the new municipality of Engerdal was established. The southeastern portion of Tolga (population: 201) was separated from Tolga and merged with portions of neighboring Øvre Rendal, Ytre Rendal, and Trysil to create this new municipality. On 1 July 1926, the northern parish of Os (population: 1,936) was separated to become the new municipality of Os. This left Tolga with 1,917 residents. In 1927, a small part of Tolga (population: 18) was transferred to the neighboring municipality of Os.[5]

During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1966, the neighboring municipalities of Tolga (population: 1,944) and Os (population: 2,015) were merged to form the new municipality of Tolga-Os. This merger was not well received by the residents and soon after the merger, they began working towards separating once again. On 1 January 1976, the municipality of Tolga-Os was divided into the municipalities of Tolga (population: 1,865) and Os (population: 1,859), using their historic borders from before 1966.[5]


Name


The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old "Tolga" farm because the first Tolga Church was built here (in 1688). The farm is named after the small Tolga river, and the river name is probably derived from the word toll, which means '(young) pine (tree)'. Prior to 1918, the name used the older spelling of Tolgen.[6]


Coat of arms


The coat of arms was granted on 14 July 1989. The arms show a gold bell on a red background. Tolga was home to the smeltehytte (a smelting hut) from 1666 to 1871. The bell represents the old bell in the town square at the center of the village of Tolga. The smeltery was important because of the prevalence of mining in the area.[7][8]


Churches


The Church of Norway has four parishes (sokn) within the municipality of Tolga. It is part of the Nord-Østerdal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Hamar.

Government


All municipalities in Norway, including Tolga, 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 Østre Innlandet District Court and the Eidsivating Court of Appeal.
