The parish of Store Elvedalen was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law). During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1965, the neighboring Sollia Municipality (population: 356) was merged with Stor-Elvdal Municipality (population: 3,808) to form a new, larger Stor-Elvdal Municipality.[1][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 Stor-Elvdal after the large Elvdalen valley (Template:Langx) which was the historical name for the whole area. The first element is the genitive case of the word Template:Wikt-lang which means "river", referring to the river Glomma which flows through the valley. The last element is Template:Wikt-lang which means "valley" or "dale". Thus this word means "river valley". The name also includes the prefix Template:Wikt-lang which means "big". This prefix was added to the old name "Elvdalen" to distinguish it from the nearby Lille-Elvdalen Municipality ("little Elvdalen", later the name was shortened to Alvdal Municipality). In the late Middle Ages the two areas were distinguished using the words Ytre Elvdalen (meaning "outer" Elvdalen) and Øvre Elvdalen (meaning "upper" Elvdalen).[1][6] Historically, the name of the municipality was spelled Store Elvdalen or Stor-Elvedalen. On 3 November 1917, a royal resolution changed the spelling of the name of the municipality to Stor-Elvdal, removing the definite form ending -en.[7]

Coat of arms

The coat of arms was granted on 12 February 1988. The official blazon is "Vert, two wood saws argent bendwise" (Template:Langx). This means the arms have a green field (background) and the charge is two diagonal two-man saws. The charge has a tincture of argent which means it is commonly colored white, but if it is made out of metal, then silver is used. The design and color were chosen to symbolize the importance of forestry in the municipality. The arms were designed by Even Jarl Skoglund. The municipal flag has the same design as the coat of arms.[8][9][10]
