History
The parish of Lunde was established as a municipality on 1 January 1867 when the large Bø Municipality was divided. The northern district of Bø remained as Bø municipality with 2,633 residents and the southern district became Lunde municipality with a population of 2,257 people. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964 Lunde Municipality (population: 3,080) was merged with most of the neighboring Holla Municipality (population: 4,093) to form the new municipality Nome Municipality.[2]
Name
The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Lunde farm (Template:Langx) since the first Lunde Church was built there.
