General information

[edit]
Map of the municipality

In 1848, the village of Hamar was granted kjøpstad status for a land area of about 400 decares (99 acres). This newly designated "town" (population: 1,025) was separated from the municipality of Vang to and established as a separate municipality in 1849. On 1 January 1878, the town/municipality of Hamar was enlarged by annexing about 800 decares (200 acres) of land and 138 people from Vang to Hamar. In 1946, a large area in Vang that surrounded the town of Hamar (population: 4,087) was transferred out of Vang and into Hamar. The next year in 1947, part of the municipality of Furnes (population: 821) was transferred into Hamar. On 1 January 1965, a part of Ringsaker (population: 100) was transferred to Hamar. On 1 January 1992, the municipality of Vang (population: 9,103) was merged with the town of Hamar (population: 16,351) and parts of the Stensby, Hanstad, Viker, and Stammerud areas of Ringsaker (population: 224) to form a new, larger Hamar Municipality.[9][10]

Name

[edit]

The municipality (originally the town) is named after the old Hamar farm (Old Norse: Hamarr). The medieval market was first built on this farm and that market eventually became a kjøpstad, the town of Hamar. This town later became a self-governing municipality. The name is identical with the word hamarr which means "stone" or "rocky hill".[4]

Coat of arms

[edit]

The coat of arms was first granted on 2 June 1896 and re-granted on 9 July 1993. The official blazon is "Argent, a grouse sable displayed standing on a pine tree issuant from the base" (Norwegian: I sølv, en svart orrfugl med flakte vinger i toppen av et grønt furutre med naturfarget stamme). This means the arms have a field (background) 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 charge is a black grouse sitting at the top of a pine tree. An older version of the arms had been used for a long time. The old version was first described in the anonymous Hamar Chronicle, written in 1553. Since then, it has been generally kept the same, although it has had some minor revisions over the years. The arms were designed by Andreas Bloch (1896 version) and by Per Solheim (1963 version) and Arvid Steen (1993 version). The municipal flag has the same design as the coat of arms.[11][12][13][4]

Transportation

[edit]

The town of Hamar is an important railway junction between two different railway lines going to Trondheim. The Rørosbanen railway line (the older line) leaves Hamar and heads northeast towards Røros. The main Dovrebanen railway line also heads north, but further west of the other line. Both lines stop at Hamar Station. The Norwegian Railway Museum (Norsk Jernbanemuseum) is also in Hamar. Hamar Airport, Stafsberg serves general aviation out of Hamar. The European route E6 highway and the Norwegian National Road 3 both cross through the municipality.[4]
