History


On 1 January 1838, the large municipality of Rendal was established. This municipality spanned 4,201 square kilometres (1,622 sq mi) from the Østerdalen valley to the border with Sweden. During the 1870s, discussions began on dividing the large municipality. On 1 January 1880, the municipality of Rendal was split in two to create the municipalities of Øvre Rendal (population: 1,868) and Ytre Rendal (population: 1,661). The new municipality of Øvre Rendal had an area of 2,521 square kilometres (973 sq mi). On 1 January 1911, the new municipality of Engerdal was established to the east of Øvre Rendal. This new municipality was created by taking 692 square kilometres (267 sq mi) of eastern Øvre Rendal, plus area from the neighboring municipalities of Ytre Rendal, Tolga, and Trysil. This portion of Øvre Rendal that became part of Engerdal had 381 residents. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1965, the new municipality of Rendalen was created by merging Øvre Rendal (population: 1,629) and Ytre Rendal (population: 1,913).[3]


Government


All municipalities in Norway, including Øvre Rendal, 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 was governed by a municipal council of elected representatives, which in turn elected a mayor.[4]
