Brandbu is a former municipality in the old Oppland county, Norway. The Шаблон:Convert municipality existed from 1897 until its dissolution in 1962. The area is now part of Gran Municipality in the traditional district of Hadeland. The administrative centre was the village of Brandbu. The municipality included land on both sides of the large lake Randsfjorden, although most of the municipal residents lived on the east side of the lake.[1]
History
The municipality of Brandbu was established on 1 January 1897 when the old Gran Municipality was divided. The northern part (population: 4,719) became Brandbu Municipality and the southern part (population: 3,897) remained as Gran Municipality. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1962, the municipality of Brandbu (population: 6,477) was merged with most of the municipality of Gran (population: 5,249) to form the new Gran Municipality. Two years later, on 1 January 1964, a small part of the old municipality of Brandbu (population: 12) located along the south shore of the lake Einavatnet was transferred from Gran to Vestre Toten Municipality.[2]
Name
The municipality is named after the old Brandbu farm (Шаблон:Lang-non). The first element of the name comes from the plural genitive case of the word Шаблон:Wikt-lang which means "burned" or "fire". The last element is Шаблон:Wikt-lang which means "house" or "dwelling".[3][1]
Government
While it existed, this municipality was responsible for primary education (through 10th grade), outpatient health services, senior citizen services, unemployment, social services, zoning, economic development, and municipal roads. During its existence, this municipality was governed by a municipal council of directly elected representatives. The mayor was indirectly elected by a vote of the municipal council.[4]
