General information[edit]

Agricultural area in Østre Toten

The parish of Østre Toten was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law). On 1 January 1875, there was a border change between Vestre Toten Municipality and Østre Toten Municipality. On 1 January 1896, a small area of Østre Toten (population: 49) was transferred to the neighboring Vardal Municipality. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, the neighboring Kolbu Municipality (population: 2,909) was merged with Østre Toten to form a new, larger Østre Toten Municipality.[5]

Etymology[edit]

The municipality was named Østre Toten because of its location in the traditional district of Toten. The first element Østre means "eastern" since it makes up the eastern part of the district. The last element is Toten (Old Norse: Þótn) which is assumed to be related to the noun þóttr which means approximately "something enjoyable".[6][7]

Coat of arms[edit]

The coat of arms was granted on 27 March 1987. The official blazon is "Vert a potato plant argent" (Norwegian: I grønt en sølv potetplante). This means the arms have a green field (background) and the charge is a potato plant. The potato plant has a tincture of argent which means it is colored white or if it is made out of metal, then it is silver. The green color in the field symbolizes the importance of agriculture in the municipality and the potato was chosen since that is a particularly important crop in the municipality. The arms were designed by Arne Løvstand.[8][9]

Churches[edit]

The Church of Norway has five parishes (sokn) within the municipality of Østre Toten. It is part of the Toten prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Hamar.

According to the sagas, Halfdan Hvitbeinn (Whiteleg) was the first Yngling in Norway. He conquered Romerike, part of Hedmark, part of Vestfold, and Toten. He was killed in Toten around the year 740.[13]

In 1021, according to saga, King Olaf (reigned 1015–1028) converted Toten to Christianity. Also, King Håkon IV (reigned 1217–1263) came to Toten around the year 1226 to settle local unrest.[13]

Christian II (1481–1559) was a Danish monarch and King of Denmark and Norway from 1513–1523 and also the King of Sweden from 1520–1521, under the Kalmar Union. Prior to becoming king, Duke Christian was sent to Norway in 1506 by John II (also called Hans), King of Norway (1483–1513) to take charge of the kingdom. In 1507, he became aware of a revolt in Hedmark. In early 1508, he took a force there, routing the rebellion. He then rowed across lake Mjøsa to Toten, capturing residents, imprisoning them in the vaulted cellar of the rectory in Østre Toten and torturing them there. As a result, he determined that Bishop Karl of Hamar had been behind the rebellion. With Bishop Karl as his captive, he was able to suppress the unrest.[13]

Toten was a part of Akershus county until 1756, when it was became part of Oppland county. Lauritz Weidemann, Corporal Peder Balke, and Nels Dyhren from Toten attended the 1814 constitutional convention at Eidsvold.[13]

Government[edit]

All municipalities in Norway, including Østre Toten, 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 elect a mayor.[14]
