General information

The parish of Søndre Odalen was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law). The borders of the municipality have not changed since that time.[3]

Name

The municipality was originally named Søndre Odalen (later Sør-Odal), after the valley in which it is located. The first element in the name is the word Template:Wikt-lang or Template:Wikt-lang, both of which mean "southern". The last element of the name is the old district name Odalen (Template:Langx). The first part of this is Template:Wikt-lang which is an alternate form of the word Template:Wikt-lang which means "river" or "creek" (here it's referring to the Glåma river). The last part of this is Template:Wikt-lang which means "valley" or "dale". The prefix "Søndre" was added when the old Odalen parish was divided in 1819 into Nordre Odalen in the north and Søndre Odalen in the south.[4] On 3 November 1917, a royal resolution changed the spelling of the name of the municipality to Sør-Odal, using an alternate word for "south" and removing the definite form ending -en.[5]

Coat of arms

The coat of arms was granted on 10 January 1992. The official blazon is "Gules, three keys Or in pall" (Template:Langx). This means the arms have a red field (background) and the charge is three keys aligned in pall. 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 keys symbolize justice, knowledge, and positive ideals. The design was chosen to represent the three parishes of Oppstad, Strøm, and Ullern and the three local bodies of water: Glomma, Oppstadåa, and Storsjøen. The arms were designed by Harald Hallstensen, a graphical designer. The municipal flag has the same design as the coat of arms.[6][7][8][9] Script error: No such module "Hatnote".
