The parish of Os was historically part of Tolga Municipality. On 1 July 1926, the parish of Os (population: 1,936) was separated from Tolga Municipality to become a separate municipality. In 1927, a small area of Tolga Municipality (population: 18) was transferred to Os Municipality. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1966, Os Municipality (population: 2,015) was merged with Tolga Municipality (population: 1,944) to form the new Tolga-Os Municipality. This arrangement was not well-liked by the local residents so after a few years, the municipalities began to ask to undo the merger. On 1 January 1976, the merger was reversed and Os Municipality (population: 1,859) and Tolga Municipality (population: 1,865) were re-established using their old boundaries.[4]

Historically, the municipality was part of Hedmark county. On 1 January 2020, the municipality became a part of the newly-formed Innlandet county (after Hedmark and Oppland counties were merged).[5]

Name

The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Os farm (Template:Langx) since the first Os Church was built there in 1703. The name is identical with the word Template:Wikt-lang which means "mouth of a river" (here it is referring to the Vangrøfta river running out into the Glomma river).[1][6]

Coat of arms

The coat of arms was granted on 9 July 1993. The official blazon is "Vert, three bells Or" (Template:Langx). This means the arms have a green field (background) and the charge is three cowbells (two over one). The charge has a tincture of Or which means it is commonly colored yellow, but if it is made out of metal, then gold is used. The design symbolizes both traditional and modern business life in the mountain municipality of Os. At the same time, the design is intended to signal hope for the future. The three bells are an image of unity and cooperation between the three main parts of the municipality. The arms were designed by Kjell Akeren. The municipal flag has the same design as the coat of arms, although the bells are slightly off centre, closer to the flagpole.[7][8][1][9]

Churches

The Church of Norway has three parishes (Script error: No such module "Lang".) within Os Municipality. It is part of the Nord-Østerdal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Hamar.
