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]
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]
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]
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]
The municipal council (Herredsstyre) of Sollia was made up of representatives that were elected to four year terms. The party breakdown of the final municipal council was as follows:
