Fåberg is a former municipality in the old Oppland county, Norway. The Script error: No such module "convert". municipality existed from 1838 until 1964 when it became part of Lillehammer Municipality in Innlandet county. The administrative centre was the village of Fåberg.[1]
History
The prestegjeld of Faaberg (later spelled Fåberg) was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law). On 1 January 1906, a part of Faaberg (population: 140) that was adjacent to the town of Lillehammer was transferred from Faaberg to the town of Lillehammer. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, Fåberg Municipality (population: 13,381) was merged with the town of Lillehammer (population: 5,905) to form a new Lillehammer Municipality.[2]
Name
The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Faaberg farm (Template:Langx) since the first Fåberg Church was built there. The meaning of the first element is uncertain, but it may come from the word Template:Wikt-lang which means "to clean" or "to polish". The last element is Template:Wikt-lang which means "mountain" or "rock".[3] On 21 December 1917, a royal resolution enacted the 1917 Norwegian language reforms. Prior to this change, the name was spelled Faaberg with the digraph "aa", and after this reform, the name was spelled Fåberg, using the letter å instead.[4][5]
Government
While it existed, this municipality was responsible for primary education (through 10th grade), outpatient health services, senior citizen services, unemployment, social services, zoning, economic development, and municipal roads. 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.[6]
