Sollia is a former municipality in Hedmark county, Norway. The 511-square-kilometre (197 sq mi) municipality existed from 1864 until its dissolution in 1965. Since then, it has made up the northern part of the present-day Stor-Elvdal Municipality. The administrative centre of the municipality was the village of Sollia where Sollia Church is located.[4]

History

[edit]

The parish of Solliden (population: 386), later spelled Sollia, was established as a municipality on 1 January 1864 when it was separated from Ringebu Municipality. The new municipality was originally part of Kristians amt (county) when it was established. On 1 January 1891, the municipality of Solliden was transferred to the neighboring county: Hedemarkens amt. An uninhabited part of Ringebu was moved to Solliden on 1 January 1899. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1965, Sollia (population: 356) was merged into the neighboring municipality of Stor-Elvdal (population: 3,808).[4][5]

Name

[edit]

The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Sollia farm (Old Norse: Sóllið) since the first Sollia Church was built there. The first element is identical with the word sól which means "sun". The last element comes from the word hlíð which means "hillside" or "slope". Thus, the name means "the sunny hillside".[6] Historically, the name of the municipality was spelled Solliden or Sollien. On 3 November 1917, a royal resolution changed the spelling of the name of the municipality to Solli.[7] On 18 November 1921, a royal resolution changed the spelling of the name of the municipality to Sollia, effective 1 January 1922.[8]

Government

[edit]

During its existence, this municipality was governed by a municipal council of directly elected representatives. The mayor was indirectly elected by a vote of the municipal council.[9]
