Tolga is a municipality in the county of Hedmark, Norway.

The parish of "Tolgen" was established as a municipality January 1, 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt). Os was separated from Tolga July 1, 1926. (Tolga and Os were also merged in the period 1966-1976 - see Tolga-Os.) Some parts of Tolga were transferred to Engerdal January 1, 1911.

The municipality is bordered in the east by Tynset, in the south by Rendalen and in the east by Engerdal and Os, all in Hedmark.

The name

The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the farm Tolga, since the first church in the parish was built here (in 1688). The farm is named after the small river "Tolga", and the rivername is probably derived from the word "toll" f '(young) pine'.

Until 1918 the name was written "Tolgen".

Coat-of-arms

The coat-of-arms is from modern times (1989). It shows the bell of Tolga "smeltehytte".
