General information

The parish of Aamot (later spelled Åmot) was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law). In 1880, the Nordre Osen area of Trysil (population: 302) was transferred to Åmot municipality.[6]

Name

The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Åmot farm (Old Norse: Ámót), since the first Åmot Church was built here. The first element is á which means "river" and the last element is mót meaning "meeting". Thus the name means the meeting of the rivers (the confluence of the rivers Glomma and Rena is in Åmot). Prior to 1921, the name was written "Aamot".[7]

Coat of arms

The coat of arms was granted on 26 February 1988. The arms show three gold or yellow timber axes on a green background. They symbolize the importance and history of the logging industry in the area.[8][9]

Churches

The Church of Norway has three parishes (sokn) within the municipality of Åmot. It is part of the Sør-Østerdal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Hamar.
