Sør-Odal is a municipality in Innlandet county, Norway. It is located in the traditional district of Odalen. The administrative centre of the municipality is the village of Skarnes. Other villages in Sør-Odal include Disenå, Galterud, and Sander.

The 517-square-kilometre (200 sq mi) municipality is the 206th largest by area out of the 357 municipalities in Norway. Sør-Odal Municipality is the 132nd most populous municipality in Norway with a population of 8,150. The municipality's population density is 15.8 inhabitants per square kilometre (41/sq mi) and its population has increased by 3.4% over the previous 10-year period.[5][6]

General information

[edit]

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 (which is fairly rare in Norway).[7]

Name

[edit]

The municipality was originally named Søndre Odalen (later Sør-Odal), after the valley in which it is located. The first element in the name is the word søndre or sør, both of which mean "southern". The last element of the name is the old district name Odalen (Old Norse: Ódalr). The first part of this is ǫ́ which is an alternate form of the word á which means "river" or "creek" (here it's referring to the Glåma river). The last part of this is dalr which means "valley" or "dale". The prefix "Søndre" was added when the old Odalen parish was divided in 1819 into Nordre Odalen in the north and Søndre Odalen in the south.[8] On 3 November 1917, a royal resolution changed the spelling of the name of the municipality to Sør-Odal, using an alternate word for "south" and removing the definite form ending -en.[9]

Coat of arms

[edit]

The coat of arms was granted on 10 January 1992. The official blazon is "Gules, three keys Or in pall" (Norwegian: I rødt tre gull nøkler stilt i trepass). This means the arms have a red field (background) and the charge is three keys aligned in pall. The charge has a tincture of Or which means it is commonly colored yellow, but if it is made out of metal, then gold is used. The keys symbolize justice, knowledge, and positive ideals. The design was chosen to represent the three parishes of Oppstad, Strøm, and Ullern and the three local bodies of water: Glomma, Oppstadåa, and Storsjøen. The arms were designed by Harald Hallstensen, a graphical designer. The municipal flag has the same design as the coat of arms.[10][11][12][13]

Churches

[edit]

The Church of Norway has three parishes (sokn) within Sør-Odal Municipality. It is part of the Solør, Vinger og Odal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Hamar.

Geography

[edit]

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 Eidskog Municipality to the south, by Kongsvinger Municipality to the east, by Nord-Odal Municipality and Grue Municipality to the north, and by Nes Municipality (in Akershus county) to the west. The terrain is dominated by rolling hills, lakes, and pine forests. The highest point in the municipality is the 528.85-metre (1,735.1 ft) tall mountain Granberget, not far from the border with Kongsvinger Municipality.[1]

Government

[edit]

Sør-Odal Municipality is responsible for primary education (through 10th grade), outpatient health services, senior citizen services, welfare and other social services, zoning, economic development, and municipal roads and utilities. The municipality is governed by a municipal council of directly elected representatives. The mayor is indirectly elected by a vote of the municipal council.[14] The municipality is under the jurisdiction of the Romerike og Glåmdal District Court and the Eidsivating Court of Appeal.
